Tech Life discovers and explains the ways technology is changing our lives, wherever we are in the world. We meet the people with bright ideas for rethinking the way we work, learn and play, and get hands-on with the products they dream up. We hold tech giants to account for their huge power to affect our lives, and ask who wins, and who loses, in the technology transformation. Tech Life is your guide to a future being made, and remade, at lightning speed in front of our eyes.

Europe rejects plans forcing platforms to block unlicensed content uploaded by users. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones.

Members of the European Parliament reject - for now - planned laws forcing platforms to block unlicensed music and other content uploaded by users. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales tells us why he thinks the proposals are bad for internet creativity. Taiwanese tech giant HTC lays off a fifth of staff - is the shine coming off Taiwan as a technology centre? And is there a revolt stirring in Silicon Valley over the kinds of work that tech staff are being asked to do by their bosses? Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, with BBC Online technology correspondent Mark Ward, and independent tech researcher Stephanie Hare.
