Anyway, some kind of royalty; it's hers by birth. Swinton was born into a clan of warrior aristocrats whose Scottish home dates back to the ninth century (they supposedly earned the family name by clearing the area of wild boar), and who served prominently in every major British military and political skirmish for a thousand years. One recent ancestor invented the tank; another helped invent television.

In this sense, Joel Tenenbaum, a student, sued by five major record labels for downloading seven songs and sharing several others while he was still in high school, was a windfall. Here was a chance to take action against an industry that, to Nesson’s mind, is advocating the repression of a fundamental freedom to access and trade information...
