Talking about security in airports... Daniel Peixoto, from Brazilian electropunk duo Montage (www.myspace.com/montage) was deported from London following a 32 hours detention in Heathrow. Authorities never explained him the reasons for their attitude, and all the time the security agents seemed more interested in asking him whether he was in London to meet his boyfriend, or to work as a prostitute. Even after he proved he was going to perform in a club, starting a tour in Europe, he was not allowed to enter UK. He was kept in a room with no place to rest and fed two sandwiches.

I had already seen that on Designboom. As I said there, I would like it better if he printed his own books to do that work instead of destroying old ones.

Brazilian copyright law (based on Berne Convention and TRIPs) is very explicit on the subject. It excepts from protection "the texts of treaties or conventions, laws, decrees, rules, court decisions and any oher official act".
(Law 9610/98, art. 8, IV, if anyone is interested)
