    Helen Haste, Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has listed what she calls 5 personal core "competencies" for the 21st century. These are well worth reading and reflecting upon. There is a link to a video of Professor Haste discussing each of these competencies, which I highly recommend that you watch.\n\nWhat do you think of these 5? Do you think there is anything missing? Over-arching these 5, I would add that, as a society, Ii think we need to reach for greater empathy, as was discussed in a recent post here, if not equanimity.

    It is my firm belief that law schools must begin to teach these types of core competencies, rather than simply focus on "skills-based" pedagogy (e.g., legal research, legal writing skills). To be sure, these skills are important, but they are not core competencies. If law schools do not start teaching these type of core competencies, we will continue to have the same disputes about ethics, professional responsibility, civility, and burn out that currently plague our profession.

  • If the two remedies are equivalent, and if "individual noncommercial copying results in no provable actual harm to the copyright harm holder," then actual damages would be zero—and so would statutory damages. "In this context, it would be unreasonable to consider the $150,000 per infringement authorized [by the law] as an appropriate substitute for the zero actual damages."

      This is actually quite an interesting argument. Going for the downloaded 'digital copy' doesn't equate to a 1 for 1 physical lost sale - which I agree with. However, rest of argument a bit more fanciful.
