if they are not fined as heavily, or more plausibly much heavier than than others who have obtained illegal content then it just shows how corrupt the "system" is.
Interesting thought. That said the movie industry in the UK have been far less sue happy than the MPAA.

But the Slone Square Peter Jones (A John Lewis by any other name) would seam to be pirating music.

A dvd in their imac is playing all sorts of popular music, all of it low quality MP3, many named Track 1 and the like, which would suggest it is in no way legally obtained, as some of the tracks had ID3 info which alludes of piracy.

But hey, thats probably the staff for their own use, rather than demo'ing.

Also, mac users, the mighty mouse REALLY is awful, i can't believe someone held the prototype and said YES this is the completely un-natural hand posistion you will be using.
More and more interesting. I wonder what other stores and other demo's are using similar things.
