Rules outlawing the transfer of content from CDs or DVDs on to MP3 files and computers for personal use are set to be scrapped by the government.

Here: In a fascinating 36 minute interview, Cobden Centre Radio's very own Brian Micklethwait speaks to James Tyler, the Chief Executive of Tyler Capital and a member of our Cobden Centre advisory board. I'll surely have more to say about this, but busy day today. So suffice it to say, for now, click on this to listen to the mp3, or follow the top link to find it as a podcast. My main ge...
