NES Controller TV Remote
“Ever wanted to control your TV with an old school Nintendo controller? No? Well, I have and now I do. A few weeks ago I picked up an old school Nintendo controller from eBay and began thinking of a project for it – then it hit me!

The Commission has threatened to sue the music industry on competition grounds if national bodies did not change the way they enforced online copyright restrictions. […] Now the Dutch music copyright agency BUMA, and the Belgian agency SABAM, have said that they will not enforce the so-called “economic residency” clause in the case of online music.”
