Saudi journalist recieves 60 lashes

published by Suhail on 24 October, 2009 - 22:58

A female journalist in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 60 lashes over a TV show in which a Saudi man described his extra- marital sex life.

The programme, made by Lebanese satellite network LBC, caused a huge scandal in conservative Saudi Arabia when it was shown several months ago. The journalist is one of two female LBC employees who have been arrested.

Seems a bit harsh on the journalists. And 1000 lashes for the defendant and 5 years in jail and two years for his friends just because they appeared on the show.

Copyright laws should be strengthened or is illegal* downloading fine

I was shocked to see an MEP was sent to EU parliament with such controversial views on copyright laws.

listening to an interview on 5 live his view is that downloading media is fine because ultimately people will make copies of files and distribute on filesharing p2p networks.

IMO it is pointless to strengthen copyright laws because infringment of media has become a part of everday life...

and is it really effecting artists on a huge scale...

it has actually opened up the way for new talent such as underground RnB artists to come on the music scene.

Fact is that people wont pay for something they know that they can get faster and for free on p2p networks.

Especially applies to youth of the modern day where filesharing is just the norm and not seen to be wrong.
