About Me

Like making old things new again. Enjoy working on a far away big tree/cow farm vs inner city digital stuff and with the NBN that's changing, creative lifestyles and digital content businesses. I have 4 degrees in psychology, media, literature, librarianship, management and business including a business PhD that explored how tech created opportunities in the music sector (as a lead indicator to other content sectors). Am fascinated by how people use digital stuff and emerging uses. Slow living, reject unreal or fast lifestyles, I like to know all about what I eat. Maintaining a professional hatred and boycott of Farcebook. Confused about whether to write in 1st or 3rd person on this site. Love animals and have always had them around - cows, horses, chooks, cats, dogs, sheep, goats, camels, budgies. Met lots of snakes too. Enjoy aesthetic immersion and favourite era is 1940-1959. Music obsessive not impartial to late nights watching bands. blah blah blah

currently reading:

an EU report: Creative Content in a European Digital Single Market: Challenges for the Future (link opens pdf).  It looks at the potential for a single (EU) market in digital content, and IP protection.  Considerations include:
- more collaboration with ISPs to stop content piracy (bet the French put that idea forward);
- the need to look for alternate sources of remuneration (for whom?);
- freely accessible ownership and license info (now that's a good idea);
- collective rights management (but then it gets a bit bogged down);
- etc. etc.


It's interesting timing because someone at YouTube spoke today about the need for copyright legislation to catch up with digital technologies.
