		<title>Legal Circumvention</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the criticisms people have about the Digital Millennium Copyright Act relates to Section 1201, Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems. Generally, if a digital work has some kind of technology stopping someone from copyright it or otherwise using it in similar ways, it is illegal to circumvent that technology- even if that particular use [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Sea Turtles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The lower Rio Grande Valley was an interesting place to grow up, for a lot of reasons. One of them is the climate; it&#8217;s an interesting mix of temperate/coastal/desert/subtropical environments, which can lead to exposure to a wide range of biological diversity, even if one isn&#8217;t inclined to go out and look for it. My [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neil Gaiman is Awesome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Neil Gaiman writes a wonderful blog. I love most of the things that he stands for and supports- and very much amongst the things he supports and discusses are libraries. Imagine my surprise to read that &#8220;librarians&#8221; were upset over his speaking fee (former link mysteriously moved). Basically, it seems that some people- presumably at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Empirical Copyright Research is Hard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From the &#8220;No kidding?&#8221; department, apparently, the GAO agrees that doing this type of research is tough in their new 41 page report. ^_- I actually think they did fairly well in pointing out some of the problems in these research methodologies. Three widely cited U.S. government estimates of economic losses resulting from counterfeiting cannot [...]]]></description>

		<title>SCO Loses Another Case Regarding Unix Copyrights</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Appropriately enough as my students are reading the Open Source Module (previously the Unix &#038; Linux module), Novell has won the jury trial, and did not transfer the copyrights in Unix to SCO. Groklaw continues to be a valuable resource in its coverage of this case and other issues. This decision hopefully removes what little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Common Copyright Assignment Mistakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The instructors of INF 312 find some common problems in student submissions to one of our assignments. Here&#8217;s some advice to students. I expect that it may be useful to others. Just because it&#8217;s educational does not mean that it&#8217;s automatically a fair use. I mention this fact in the copyright module, bolded. The educational [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Rule When Discussing Copyright</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At least, it&#8217;s one I&#8217;ll hope to adhere to in the future. -Whoever uses the word &#8220;entitlement&#8221; in his or her argument loses.]]></description>

		<title>Notes Fest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m teaching a course, INF 312 this semester. It&#8217;s going to be great, but certainly keeping me busy. ^_^ Between working full time, teaching, going to class and working on a couple of research projects, it&#8217;s going to be a fascinating semester. ^^ But now for some brief notes. ^_^ Dinosaur Feather Colors &#8211; Perhaps [...]]]></description>

		<title>William Patry, Back in Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m very excited: the always-worth-reading William Patry is blogging again at Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars! His new book of the same title just got added to my Amazon Wish List. He is currently having a relatively pleasant disagreement with Ben Sheffner of the Copyright &#038; Campaigns blog. Sheffner is an advocate of strong [...]]]></description>

		<title>From the damned-if-you-do department&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Techdirt is discussing the very strange lawsuit against text-sharing site Scribd. The strangest part of this particular lawsuit involves Scribd&#8217;s copyright protection measures. Because Scribd has to have a copy of the work at some point and in some form in order to make sure that the infringing file can&#8217;t be uploaded for public viewing, [...]]]></description>
