Apparently Andy Quirke (aka Damo from Skanger Me Banger) was asked to do the ad campaign by the people behind 'Rock the Vote'. So he did. Fair play to him!

 I was actually walking up Lower Kevin Street this morning and I noticed that the 'Damo' poster has been taken down. Either somebody got a nice souvenir or some political party took offense to it. |

Since our inception, Boards has had a policy against copyright breaching Bittorrent links. We've been here for 12 years now and that's been our policy long before anyone came and made us adopt it.
We do not support piracy.
We also do not support bad law.
More than 2 million different people use Boards.ie every month. We reach a lot of people and a lot of people use us to communicate with each other. We employ two full-time staff to respond to take down notices. That is a cost we bear to protect other people's copyright. A cost we do not see recouped from the rights holders. We are not slack about this issue.
Minister Seán Sherlock has proposed a new law which is best explained here. It will be enacted by a single stroke of his pen.
This is the very definition of bad law. It punishes those who are trying to do what is right while doing nothing to stop the criminals. It seems to follow the headless chicken logic of "Something must be done!!! This is something, therefore we must do this!!"
Why is this being pushed through on the signature of one man without proper consultation with the industry and with the people of Ireland (over 45,000 of whom have already signed a petition against this)?
It won't work, its vastly over powered and punishes the wrong people. It's bad law and I'm asking Minister Sherlock to reconsider it.
