They say that if they don't get such monies, they'll sue for copyright infringment.

Are they looking to prosecute people involved with running p2p's, people uploading or people downloading?Iit appears to me that they don't even know their own stance on the issue and that they are merely acting on behalf of the big British reord labels. The ipod issue would seem to indicate that someone high up is barking down orders who themselve is out of touch with the subject.

Getting McDowell on the record as to whether or not he endorses Joe Soap 'breaking' the law would make for an interesting exercise... better if it's done after asking him if he owns one ;-) The iPod issue is certainly… startling, and goes against all notions of common-sense.

I suspect that's the case in the general population.

Just finished reading the IRMA iPod position. This strikes me as an ideal target for a first campaign. "Legalize the iPod". I cant see many TD's wanting to explain to their constituients why little johnny is being sued for listening to a cd he bought on his iPod. It has an appeal to those with no special interest in technology issues, and you would be remembered fondly be people who would otherwise never hear of you.

One of the reasons we're going public now is to seek input on what issues we should prioritise, as well as how we should approach those issues. Once we adopt a position paper, you can be sure that we will put it on the site as soon as possible. In an ideal world we would have a full set of position papers up already. But there are some factors which mean that we have to hasten slowly. In broad terms we're in agreement on (for example) data retention - but the devil is in the details. We have to be sure that what we say is entirely accurate, both technically and legally. In other areas, such as ID cards, we would be concerned about some of the <a href="http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2005/07/10/story6360.asp" rel="nofollow"> proposals for Irish ID cards</a>, but we might consider holding off on adopting a position until we see a formal proposal from the government. Incidentally, one of our functions (as set out in our Memorandum) is to promote "public and political awareness" of digital rights issues. Even if we haven't adopted a formal position on a particular topic, we will still be making progress if we can stimulate public debate on that topic.

I run a small podcast which focus's on civil liberties and technology issues (in addition to popular science), from DRM to US corporations in China to software patents etc. We'd love to have one of you guys on the show to discuss your plans, and maybe drum up interest from our audience in participating in 'EFF style' work in this country. Drop us a line and let us know if you'd be interested! Hey guys,
