Sheffner ’93, the copy-conservative lawyer behind the popular copyright blog “Copyrights and Campaigns.” “The Internet completely changed the game—all of a sudden...

Creating the sort of infrastructure that can support electric cars on a mass scale won't be cheap, and it's not a cost that Campbell and his colleagues included in their study.
