One day we're going to look back and wonder how a company had the audacity to copy all the world's information and enable people to violate the copyrights of those works. All Napster did was enable people to transfer files in a peer-to-peer manner. They didn't even host any of the content! Napster even developed a system to stop 99.4% of copyright infringement from their users but were still shut down because the court required them to stop 100%. OpenAI scanned and hosts all the content, sells access to it and will even generate derivative works for their paying users.

But *why* are universities facing financial risk? They hire the "best" consultants to do forecasts, they pay millions to their "leadership" teams, they keep expanding campus infrastructure, and give free flats and furniture to the Principals...oh did I just answer the question.

For those who were asleep at the back: - the overwhelming majority of farmers will be unaffected by the proposed changes to Inheritance Tax - those complaining about it are the multi-millionaires who saw investing in farmland as an excellent tax avoidance measure.

And the data shows that most of the cost of the tax increase will be borne by a few very large estates. In 2022 2% of agricultural estates - just 37 - claimed an average of £6m. That's what this is really about - not 70,000 farms. So let's drop the hyperbolic fake stats.
