Hot on the heels of the Law Revision Crossbow and associated delights comes this student lament on the fluid nature of English defamation law.

The video, which appeared on YouTube yesterday, details the frustration experienced by a law student after his freshly-ordered textbook turns out to be out-of-date thanks to a recent change in the law. Accordingly, he is forced to turn to Wikipedia. Set to Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, it’s beautifully done, but how many precious revision hours did it take to make?
