  2. The heavy hand of the law puts on a bike glove.

  7. What a mess.
  8. "Google is not the Eye of Sauron, finding all that is good on the Internet and corrupting it. Nor, despite its mission "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," is it humanity's informational savior. Google is a company that provides an enormously significant online service. When that service raises serious legal questions, we should ask whether it is good for the users or bad for the users."

  12. Amazing. Downhill battle is back!
  13. "In his remarkable ruling, U.S. Circuit Judge Richard Posner stated that there was no point in holding a trial because it was apparent that neither side could show they had been harmed by the other’s patent infringement. He said he was inclined to dismiss the case with prejudice — meaning the parties can’t come back to fight over the same patents — and that he would enter a more formal opinion confirming this next week."
  14. Sounds complicated.
  15. Beautiful, eloquent response to a Revealing Error post. "In the real world, police and prosecutors can’t help but exercise discretion with every decision they make. And while it’s true there is rampant abuse of the power to decide when to drop the legal hammer on some schlub’s life, that discretion is the humanity in our justice system. People are messy and inconsistent, but only human judgments yield human justice."
  16. Awesome write of the whole TPB trial outcome from someone who has closely followed the whole thing.
  17. I'm not so mad I never went to law school.
