Posted on March 26, 2008From U.S. v. Carter, No. 2:07-CR-00184-RLH (GWF), 2008 WL 623600, at *4 (D. Nev. March 6, 2008): The Affidavit then described the steps taken by the Government to identify the user of Internet Protocol (IP) address 68.108.184.145. A search of the publicly available website arin...
Cool Queuing Theory Model Suggests Continuations Not the Problem at the PTO
Posted on December 14, 2007Recently on Bill Heinze’s I/P Updates, I read about a note published by George Mason authors entitled “Improving Patent Examination Efficiency and Quality, An Operations Research Analysis of the USPTO, Using Queuing Theory“. 17 Fed. Cir...
Another Criticism on the Demise of OiNK (and the Problems of Class and Indie Rock)
Posted on November 26, 2007Great post from marathonpacks (via fluxblog) on the demise of OiNK: Yet what these people don?t understand, or at least won?t admit to understanding publicly, is that OiNK was a symbolic subcultural mirror of exactly everything they profess to hate about their vision of mainstream culture...
Another Court Recognizes an Expectation of Privacy Over E-mail
Posted on November 26, 2007From National Economic Research Associates, Inc. (”NERA”) v. Evans, 21 Mass.L.Rptr. 337 (Mass. Super. 2006): NERA contends that any reasonable person would have known that the hard disk of a computer makes a ?screen shot? of all it sees, which the computer then stores in a temporary file, including e-mails retrieved from a private password-protected [...
Choosing Strong Passwords
Posted on November 18, 2007Not quite a “law hack,” barely a “life hack,” maybe just a “memory hack.” But in response to this Lifehacker mention of an algorithm to create answers to “dumb” security questions, I decided to throw out my method of making memorable, strong passwords...
Law Hacks
Posted on November 17, 2007The ABA Journal online published a list of “law hacks” this past summer. They group these “hacks” under E-mail, Your PC, Time Management, Phones, the Web, Software, Low Tech, Your Brain, Your Money, Hardware, and more. (If you’re unfamiliar with the world of “hacks” or more properly “life hacks,” then they’re generally tidbits of advice [...

Dudas issued a preliminary injunction on Oct. 31 blocking the PTO’s implementation of its new continuation and claim rules that were to go into effect on Nov. 1.

Waffles! Hydra! Pink!
Posted on October 30, 2007OiNK’s new home page is now hawking waffles—and links to a Google search on”what to use instead of oink.” (The first result is brokep’s (of The Pirate Bay) blog post, appropriately titled, “What to use instead of Oink (waffleswaffleswaffles and jam)...
Extralegal Methods for Protecting Our Perceived File-Sharing Rights
Posted on October 25, 2007In response to this dig on This Recording (where Alex Carnevale compares siding with the RIAA as supporting lynching): I can’t say that I support what the RIAA is doing. I think, reflecting upon Tim Wu’s articles on socially-acceptable crime, the RIAA is a private interest forcing the hand of government to expend tax-payers’ money [...
Are US-Based OiNK Users at Risk for Legal Liability? And Why This Was a Smart Move by Big Music
Posted on October 24, 2007Idolator has two enlightening exchanges with US attorneys about whether US-based OiNK users are at risk for copyright infringement. The take-home is “yes,” but the likelihood of prosecution, on the other hand, is low: I think it depends on how quickly the RIAA gets its hands on any of the server logs...
OiNK File-Sharing Community Shut-Down
Posted on October 23, 2007Now, we can talk about it: OiNK, the invite-only, free file-sharing community was raided by the police, and the owner was taken into custody. OiNK (once available at oink.cd)was known on the street for distributing a lot of not-yet-released and pre-release versions of albums...
