CD AND DVD COPYING FOR PERSONAL USE GETTING OK IN UK

Reuters is reporting that the British government will announce tomorrow that it plans to legalize the copying of CDs and DVDs onto computers or portable media players for personal use -- a move that will bring it up to speed with most other European countries (and the US and Canada). Of course, the key words there are "personal use." You still won't be legally allowed to share that music over the internet after you copy it without permission, and it's not yet clear how the new rules will apply to DVDs (or Blu-rays) with copy protection measures

BRITISH AIRPORTS TO USE HOLOGRAPHIC SECURITY AGENTS

London will have Holly and Graham while Manchester will have Julie and John. According to Luton's Glyn Jones, "Holly and Graham are not going to have a hangover; they're not going to have a row with their partner the night before."
