Law School Memes

Public Domain Protection

Sun, 10 Feb 2013 16:28:48 -0500

Hey lawbloggers! I have a favour to ask! I remember seeing a video or blog recently (read the last 6 months) that discussed a new book about increased protection for public domain works.

Basically, it advocated that companies should face fines or sanctions if they take public domain works, slap a copyright notice on them and claim ownership forcing people (and often teachers) to pay for every copy when they could legally make their own copies from a single purchased copy.

Sounds awesome, right? The problem is, I don’t remember the title or author of the book, and I can’t find the article/video that discussed it.

Heard of it? PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I NEED TO FIND THIS BOOK!

Step 1: spend all lecture, every lecture in Law School on tumblr

Hello n-n do you live in the US, right? I'm following the hurricane news and I just wanted to know if everything's ok with you. Love your tumblr. Take care. Chocolate kisses, Kate.

Thank you for your concern, Kate! I’m in Canada, but near the East Coast. We had some right nasty rain and winds yesterday (gusting over 90km/h) but things seem to have calmed down today. We got very lucky compared to reports I’m getting from friends and family down in NYC.

Hey Law Students! Follow illegalities!

I feel like MLP had some interesting statutory interpretation issues about what, exactly, is meant by the term “friendship is magic”.

Prima facie, this is a statement that true friendship doesn’t exist in our world and all we have is a farcical imitation using slight of hand and misdirection. Unless we are to assume…

…I’ll stop now.

Faced with a Five-Page Limit, Lawyer Files Cartoon Amicus Brief with Proper Font Size - News - ABA Journal:

lawdog798:

A lawyer who opposes the Justice Department’s proposed antitrust settlement with three publishers of e-books has filed an amicus brief (PDF) in the form of a comic strip. Bob Kohn tells Bloomberg and the New York Times Media Decoder blog that he opted for the unusual format after U.S. District Judge Denise Cote of Manhattan limited his brief to five pages. “I thought of the idea of using pictures which, as we know, paint a thousand words,” Kohn told Media Decoder. He calls the cartoon a “graphic novelette” and says it complies with court rules requiring 12-point or larger type and one-inch margins, Bloomberg says. The illustrator attends school with Kohn’s daughter, Katie, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in film studies at Harvard.
