I would have left it there, but for one of the comments I got which observed that the judgement was based on not the similarity of the pictures but on [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2012/02/03/photographing-buses/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2010/11/12/riot-for-the-media/ http://www.anonymong.org/2010/11/12/riot-for-the-media/#comments Fri, 12 Nov 2010 18:43:09 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1229 So the students have taken to the streets to protest at the proposed changes to student funding. On the plus side they start out with some very nice placards clearly stating their cause, then left a load of grafitti which didn’t mention it. The rather pointless riot somewhat spoilt it though, starting initially in the [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2010/11/12/riot-for-the-media/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2010/10/17/sneaky-sneaky-very-sneaky/ http://www.anonymong.org/2010/10/17/sneaky-sneaky-very-sneaky/#comments Sun, 17 Oct 2010 18:52:01 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1189 The Evening standard article about the secret ring of steel rather shocked me, though sadly didn’t surprise me as much as it once would have. Very quietly rounds around the city have been being blocked, changed from public highways to private property with private security and controls on what people on those streets can and [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2010/10/17/sneaky-sneaky-very-sneaky/feed/ 2 http://www.anonymong.org/2010/07/27/you-cant-trust-a-copper/ http://www.anonymong.org/2010/07/27/you-cant-trust-a-copper/#comments Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:27:35 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1086 It’s true it seems you can’t trust a copper to actually know the law they’re meant to be enforcing. The Metropolitan police commissioner has admitted that his police sometimes forget the law on photography (not that it’s been a high profile issue or anything), and of course the plastic police have been found to delete [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2010/07/27/you-cant-trust-a-copper/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2010/03/31/they-really-dont-like-photographers-do-they/ http://www.anonymong.org/2010/03/31/they-really-dont-like-photographers-do-they/#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:42:30 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=849 The original of this article is over on Copyright Action, but they seem to be having bandwidth issues so I reproduce it in it’s entirety here.
