Hi all,

Regarding the fuss about the impacts of digital rights management (DRM), I 
think it's significant that the dat after the consultation on implementing 
DRM via copyright closes a new consultation is launched on limiting the 
rights of data subjects to access the information held about them.

I'll be producing a digest of the proposals in about a week.

In the mean time there's a Guardian article, published today, at:
http://politics.guardian.co.uk/foi/story/0,9061,823817,00.html

The consultation paper is available from the Lord Chancellor's web site at:

this party nor against the other but we are for justice and mercy and
truth and peace and true freedom, that these may be exalted in our nation,
and that goodness, righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity
with God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burroughs, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
