It's Raining Writs

Busy in these parts. Back atcha soon.

"Nuremberg Files" First Amendment Ruling - Links

Declan McCullagh; Howard Bashman; GrepLaw; Stan Morris [via GigaLaw]; Jason Hoppin [via The Recorder and Law.com].

Nominee For Headline Of The Day

"Troll Reversal" [via Law.com], discussing a Third Circuit decision to lift an injunction on the sale of plastic, smiling, pot bellied, neon haired trolls. The appellate court found the trolls could be derivative works entitled to a mandatory license, and faulted the lower court for generalizing about the trolls covered by the injunction, which never were subjected to an "exacting comparison" with the Danish copyrighted trolls (book your seats early for that day in court).

Generation Blog

Jeneane is right that Christopher Locke's interview on today's Marketplace Morning Report is a nine minute adreneline rush, particularly his musings about growing up saturated by globally connected, seamless electronic publishing. (See also, tangentially, the outline and slides from Dave Winer's presentation at eTech.) I need to trade in the economy model brain for the roomy, luxury ride (complete with on-board blogging, of course) to fully grasp that one.

With all the blogging going on, deciding who gets a conference press pass must be getting tougher.
-Later, Doc:

"Aside: I got an email today from another conference where no visitors are granted permission to report on what's said there. They want me to sign an NDA before I even show up. Pretty self-limiting, no?"

Particularly given these things aren't cheap, yet thanks to the real-time coverage I bet O'Reilly's already hammered with registration requests for the next one.
