UG#552 - Defective By Design and The War on Sharing (Copyright or Community?)

This week's entire show is devoted to a recent speech by the pioneer of the free software movement, Richard Stallman. He gives a history of copyright law, and how it has become a tool of corporations to maximize profit by creating scarcity. He explains the technical and legal sides of some recent battles about DRM, and the moral and pragmatic reasons why people should refuse to use proprietary software.

The show this week looks at the so-called financial 'crisis' from two different perspectives. Firstly, I give an audio commentary on a presentation I created last year, Understanding the Financial 'Crisis'. Next, Michael Hudson speaks on The Spectre Haunting Europe, detailing the financial goings on in Europe, focussing on the evisceration of the Latvian economy and expanding upon his prediction of a new feudalism and a neo-liberal style fire sale of the European welfare state.

Anti Arms-Traders 'breach' parameter for Heckler and Koch picket

Every second Monday of the month the Shut Down H + K campaign in Nottingham hold a peaceful picket outside the Easter Park Industrial Estate, Nottingham, to highlight and protest the presence on the business estate of the international arms manufacturers and traders, Heckler and Koch.

Braindead Fascist EDL Bozos To Protest At Chorley Comedy Gig

This sounds like a wind-up, but sadly it's true. Proving once and for all that they are fascist as well as thick as two short planks, the infernal idiots of the English Defence League are going to protest against comedian Russell Howard for daring to tell a joke against the EDL. Their hero Adolf Hitler burnt books, and yet the so-called "free-speech loving" EDLers want free reign to tweet vile racist jokes around the net, but when someone dares to put the boot on the other foot, the EDL show their true fascist censorship colours.

UG#541 - Outing Prison 1 (Mass Incarceration Is The New Jim Crow)

This week we hear author Sasha Abramsky and professors Viviane Saleh-Hanna and Michelle Alexander on the US incarceration industry, or as they call it, the "Prison Industrial Complex". How can a country which used to style itself the "land of the free" lock up far more of its own population than any other country? Why has the US prison population exploded? And what is the connection with racial segregation and Jim Crow?
