It's nice to be innocent, but really, would you rather be guilty as sin and packing a squad of high-powered private attorneys, or pure as driven snow and represented by a massively overworked public defender? But what do you do when even the best attorneys can't help? What about when you're facing a $20 million dollar fine for pollution. The ...

If you've ...

I've been fascinated for some time with the work of the European Cultural Foundation and the European video project StrangerFestival, held this past July in Amsterdam.

The report argues that the confusion about regulation, copyright and privacy means that young people are plunging headlong into an uncertain set of new relationships online. As young people experience greater freedoms ...
