NZ's copyright law sucks at the moment.
We can't even copy a CD to tape, to listen in the car. Backup copy? Yeah right!

Our Economic Development ministry is looking at the same thing. They are trying to work out whether to ratify the treaty, and by how much.

We get until October though :)

See here for more info.

Hehe, I bought one of those Hamsters in a ball just because of Hamster Havoc! Didn't have rechargable batteries, so it's just sitting in the corner now :(

Don't know if I can get a duck that goes bowling though, maybe Andover or VA could come out with a Hamster Havoc and Duckpins (+ sequel!) DVD, along with assorted merchandise! How about it?
