...witnessing, but Robert Cottrol isn't so sure. Cottrol who is professor of law at the George Washington University School of Law in Washington , D.C., specializes in criminal law and legal history. He urges caution when trying to discern macro-movements within the Court. "We can certainly distinguish three Justices - Breyer, Stevens and Ginsburg - who are deeply skeptical toward the death penalty," says Cotttrol.

...says Princeton's Ed Felten, who withheld research on flaws in security technology after the music industry threatened to sue. "You hear terms like tampering and hacking used to describe things that have long been done for legitimate purposes." The developing legal framework discourages such research by failing to distinguish well between legitimate and illegitimate exploitation. But when programmers intentionally infringe copyright, especially for commercial reasons, Felten says, "sympathy [among computer scientists] evaporates." One example may be the case of Russian Dmitry Sklyarov and his employer, ElcomSoft, the first criminal prosecution under the DCMA. WIPO director-general Kamil Idris says...
