While checking round the latest news and stuff I came across the latest campaign from Amnesty International which is trying to remove the censorship that some countries apply to the internet and what their citizens can publish and read. The site for this is irrepressible.info and as part of the campaign you can use your website to publish stuff that has been censored elsewhere in the world. An example of this is already on the right of this site and hopefully the campaign can change at least some things.
On a similar note the tv listings at bleb.org have had to remove ITV due to a law which says you have to be licensed to publish the TV listings for those channels. Obviously there's nothing that can be done at the moment, but it just seems silly when the information is already available on their websites.

Piers Roberts has gone and created a petition requesting that UK TV data be available under an open source-like licence.
Certainly would help getting ITV back.
