Copyright Reform Act tries fixing fair use with seven words

Copyright Reform Act tries fixing fair use with seven words.

In addition to “criticism” and “news reporting” and the rest of the items in the fair use preamble, the CRA proposes the addition of three more: “incidental uses, non-consumptive uses, and personal, non-commercial uses.”

This would be huge.

Drupal post crash in Chrome

Google Chrome users of some of the Drupal sites I designed have been having difficulty posting.  It took me some time to track down a solution, but it appears in this thread.  Seems that all you have to do is open a new tab and try the post again.

Hope this helps someone else as well!
