Whaleoil reports on how unemployed ex.never was a Cabinet Minister, Judith Tizard, is slamming the government for delaying enactment of the Copyright Act amendment that she screwed up.
Radiolive reports Tizard saying "artists and musicians are being robbed of their livelihoods by illegal downloads"
Given that:
a. Labour and commentators across the political spectrum are damning the appalling mismanagement of this issue, essentially by her; and
b. She was part of a government that has as its raison d'etre robbing people of their livelihoods in part to pay for the livelihoods of artists and musicians who couldn't earn a living selling their art and music to willing buyers...
I think it's time for Judith to do what she said on election night, and have a quiet life.
Protection of intellectual property is very important, but Tizard has proven she doesn't have the competence to be respected on this issue. Other people are trying to fix your mess Judith. A little humility would go a long way.

So Judith is concerned that artists and musicians are being "robbed of their livelihoods", but would still tax their earnings? Do you see a slight irony there, Judith?
