Law and reality in publishing and entertainment (seldom the same thing) from the creator's side of the slush pile, with occasional forays into politics, military affairs, censorship and the First Amendment, legal theory, and anything else that strikes me as interesting. |

Internet radio is one of the cool and legal uses of audio-compression technology. We'll just sort of evade the irony of listening to a radio panel interview on Grokster as an MP3 file, won't we? In any event, for your listening pleasureor pain, I suppose, if you're into that sort of thingyou can hear an hour-long program on Grokster at IT Conversations, hosted by Ernest Miller (of The Importance of Being) and including the lovely and talented Denise Howell (of Bag & Baggage) and the humble (snort!) C.E. Petit (of this fine blawg) as panelists. In some ways, this is a bit of a followup to our show last fall on the Ninth Circuit's decision. Unfortunately, this time around Professor Wu and the people from EFF were not available, so it's only half the panelists for twice the legal skullduggery.
