April 10
1710 - The first law regulating copyright was issued in Great Britain.
And it affects the Chaos Cascade to this day.

The Statute of Anne (short title Copyright Act 1709 8 Anne c.19; long title "An Act for the Encouragement of Learning, by vesting the Copies of Printed Books in the Authors or purchasers of such Copies, during the Times therein mentioned") was the first copyright law in the Kingdom of Great Britain (thus the United Kingdom), enacted in 1709 and entering into force on April 10, 1710. It is generally considered to be the first fully-fledged copyright law. It is named for Queen Anne, during whose reign it was enacted...The statute of 1709 vested authors rather than printers with the monopoly on the reproduction of their works.

If you come to Indonesia, your troubles with piracy will be gone forever! ;D Why, Indonesia's almost as pathetic with piracy as the English with their food!

I heard about that for the first time a couple of weeks ago and found it highly impressive... The eruption was so big that it made a volcanic winter in occident (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_Summer]the Year Without a Summer[/url]).

Respect the elders

Cooperate with the pack
Play when you can
Hunt when you must
Rest in between
Share your affections
Voice your feelings
Leave your mark

But you're seekin' a better home.
Oh Lord, how long will the Search go on?"
