...came on April 16. Just a couple of weeks earlier, the professor had made waves in the legal community when he posted an e-mail chain to his blog suggesting an idea for a new, radical defense. Perhaps individuals like Tenenbaum, downloading music for free on-line several years ago when there weren’t any suitable for-pay options such as iTunes, weren’t committing a copyright infraction. Perhaps, Nesson now surmised, such activity wasn’t illegal at all, falling under the umbrella of what is known to the legal community...
...blog and Twitter updates, appears in multiple YouTube videos, plays Internet poker regularly, and has taught classes online using the virtual reality site SecondLife, makes no secret of his online footprint or his copyleft orientation. It was this mischievous-looking 70-year-old law professor who served a decade ago as the motive force behind the founding of Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society—an organization that grapples with the developing legal issues surrounding the use of the Internet and has been dubbed “a den of copyleft activists?...

"Manny Being Mini," one clever columnist has already written. Maybe you just want to send...
...failing to secure the rights for teams to void the contract of drug cheats before the last drug agreement was negotiated, about a year ago, the owners clearly took a weak position. They set themselves up to carry more steroid baggage than they may otherwise want. "From a management perspective, we prefer to have as many options to us as possible," says one American League team executive. These rules are on the books until December of 2011. At that time, maybe MLB's leadership will have more clout. But for now, enjoy Manny Being Manny again come July. Draped...
