Harvard prof tells judge that P2P filesharing is "fair use" - Ars Technica - 0 views

  • 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.

Lawyer Marketing with Twitter - 0 views

  • If you’ve looked at Twitter and just don’t get it, you’re not alone. Looking at any one author’s contributions, it’s tough not to call it drivel. The turning point for many is to recognize Twitter for what it truly is — pure personal reaction. That reaction can run the gamut, from academic and insightful to casual and silly — and at times, drivel.
