Fight for your writes. A nice little article by Zoe Margolis. While it’s highly unlikely that I’ll ever write anything here that anyone else would want to reproduce, I’m fully aware that the copyright for my blog posts rests with me and, if the circumstances arose, I’d be more than willing to enforce it.

I’ve just had my attention drawn to Match It For Pratchett, a website that has been set up in order to raise at least £500,000 for research into Alzheimer’s, the disease that Terry Pratchett was recently diagnosed with a form of.
