- Care to spend your holiday weekend policing directory listings?
- I'm not a fan in general of sites that create a listing or profile for you, hoping you'll eventually claim and/or correct it. This tactic, neither user-centric nor user-driven, is insidious for at least three reasons: inaccuracies proliferate, privacy is frequently...

- Saul Hansell reports today that the Associated Press "will, for the first time, attempt to define clear standards as to how much of its articles and broadcasts bloggers and Web sites can excerpt without infringing on The A.P.’s copyright." The problem with "clear...

- Section 230 to Twitter and others: Delete away
- Community and content management don't void a site's immunity under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Participation in an unlawful act does. I was thus taken aback by the legal analysis included in Wired's/Betsy Schiffman's post about Ariel Waldman and Twitter...

- Upcoming panel on exploiting the social graph
- At a conference I attended last month on social media law (I have some interesting notes I'll post soon), I was struck by how lawyers for social media giants such as Facebook, MySpace, Google, find speedy ways to accommodate powerful copyright holders on infringement issues. When it comes to...

- Sparks fly over copyright at Tech Policy Summit
- The group of copyright scholars and advocates gathered Wednesday at the Tech Policy Summit in Hollywood demonstrated that while copyright must function in a converged world, opinions on how it should function are as divergent as ever. The panel pictured from left to right consisted...

- Docstoc for law school (a.k.a. today's young whippersnappers don't know how good they have it!)
- My goodness. Check out the impressive array of law school outlines and other law school and bar exam resources being amassed at Docstoc. Aside from being incredibly useful, my favorite thing about this service is its built in Creative Commons licensing. A perfect...

- Christmas is a time for mashups
- As I inevitably download "new" holiday music each year, it's painfully apparent we wouldn't *have* much new holiday music if it weren't for sampling, remixes, remakes, and mashups. The iTunes List of 44 Holiday Songs for 2007 is testament to this fact, as are the many Christmas remixes and...
