The incredibly talented [livejournal.com profile] jwaneeta has posted Torchwood fan art.

Here's an nifty little LJ tool I ran across at fandom_wank: LJ thread unfolder, works with Firefox (you need to install Greasemonkey first, then Unfolder). It was easy to install, and it's already come very handy for unfolding collapsed threads.

Interesting article on the economic effects of file sharing: Piracy is Good? How Battlestar Galactica killed broadcast tv. It presents a different viewpoint from the usual clamors of "Piracy kills the entertainment industry!". I find the argument plausible and the business model suggested here is quite interesting.

Speaking for myself, almost all CDs that I bought in the last couple of years - the only exception being sountracks - I bought because a fanvid had introduced me to the band. When the 'Bones' pilot was leaked onto the internet half a year before the show started, I was actually wondering at the time if Fox themselves might not have had something to do with it... word-of-mouth is a most valuable tool to raise the profile of the show.
