		<description><![CDATA[Five years ago I asked, “Is Google a utility?”  A utility, of course, is usually a “natural monopoly”; it provides some infrastructure-type product or service in a market where competition supposedly makes no economic sense.  Its profits are essentially assured but managed; its rates are regulated; it has little choice over with whom it may do business.  Regulation of a monopoly as a utility is an approach, mainly of an earlier era and school of thought, to managing a certain kind of challenge to public welfare presented by dominant market ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let us reflect a little on what justice &#8220;copyright troll&#8221; Righthaven has wrought, so far.  Wired weighs in on the latest Righthaven woes:

A federal judge ruled Monday that publishing an entire article without the rights holder’s authorization was a fair use of the work, in yet another blow to newspaper copyright troll Righthaven.
It’s not often that republishing an entire work without permission is deemed fair use. Fair use is an infringement defense when the defendant reproduced a copyrighted work for purposes such as criticism, commentary, teaching and research. The defense is analyzed on ...]]></description>

This story in theNorthwest Asian Weekly about the trademark registration woes of a rock band called The Slants may sound familiar to people who follow such things:
The Slants, whose members are of Asian descent, have amassed fans nationwide, taking the stage at dive bars, Asian festivals, anime conventions, and even serving on panels to discuss racial stereotypes.
But behind the scenes, the band is fighting a battle with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The office has twice denied The Slants request to obtain federal trademark registration of its ...]]></description>

Salinger against a &#8220;sequel&#8221; to The Catcher in the Rye written by Fredrik Colting.  Last year, in a guest post, Matthew David Brozik added his own thoughts on the topic &#8212; right on the eve of the Second Circuit&#8217;s stay of the lower-court order essentially barring publication of the book.

Some fellow at The Economist has taken me to task for my description of socialism and communism: “The difference between communism and socialism: Under communism, politics begins with a gun in your face; under socialism, politics ends with a gun in your face.” . . .

I work in New York City. That morning I was late on the way into the office. I had to stop off at what was then called the &#8220;AT &#38; T Phone Store&#8221; to replace my cell phone. I chose the one just off Sixth Avenue in Midtown, near the subway stop before the one I usually got off at. This was around 53rd Street — a good two and a half miles north of the financial district, if you don&#8217;t know New ...]]></description>

Let&#8217;s get real simple here.
The crux of the issue is whether, if indeed marriage is a right under the Constitution, there is also a right to change the meaning of the word &#8220;marriage&#8221; from what it always meant to what we just plain want it to mean.
In other words, the &#8220;marriage&#8221; that is a &#8220;right&#8221; under the Constitution was marriage:  Matrimony binding a man and woman in a unique way consistent with social norms regarding family life.
It is true that there was a time that it was against the law ...]]></description>

A while ago, while obsessing about New York’s  Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its obsession with turning what might have once merely been viewed as functional municipal signage or insignia into “IP” (intellectual property), I made fun of the MTA’s trademark application (since approved) for IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.
So in light of last week’s Times Square bomb-thingy, who’s laughing now?  Not the New York Times, in a breathless article about the phrase’s elevation to “iconic,” including an interview with sloganeer extraordinaire Allen Kay:

Talk about &#8220;scandalous and offensive&#8221; trademarks!:
[P]hrases containing some form of &#8220;God&#8221; have been trademarked [sic] more than 3,400 times in the United States: &#8220;God answers knee-mail&#8221; and &#8220;All God&#8217;s Children Got Issues&#8221; and, of course, &#8220;T.G.I. Friday&#8217;s,&#8221; the restaurant chain.
But where you have trademarks, you also have trademark infringement. Which is how Megan P. Nicholson of Marietta, purveyor of merchandise bearing the logo &#8220;Handmade by God,&#8221; came to file suit in Atlanta federal court against [Arthus Gross III], owner of [the trademark registration for] &#8220;Made by God.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Information wants to be free.&#8221;  I must have mocked those words dozens of times on my blog.  Or a few.   I might be counting the times I just thought that.  Either way, that expression is not an argument.  It&#8217;s a statement of ideological faith.  The pro-copyright right has its own religion on this, too.
The music industry, for example, demonstrates its faith via windmill-tilting-based litigation genuflection.  The best way to describe its approach copyright enforcement is to think of &#8220;mass tort&#8221; litigation seen through the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may not realize it, but this has, until fairly recently and going back about a millenium, been the scariest season of the year for Jews.  So it&#8217;s understandable that a lot of my fellow Jews still have a visceral feeling about non-Jews&#8217; attitudes towards Jews, and particularly those of Christians.
As I have written here before, this is by and large a mistake, especially considering that, as the &#8220;old&#8221; song goes, &#8220;We&#8217;ve got a bigger problem now.&#8221;

A few months ago I published a lengthy discourse, doomed to obscurity, in which ...]]></description>

This item from Focus Taiwan didn&#8217;t end quite the way I expected it to:
A group of legislators expressed grave concern Thursday about rampant infringements or abuse of Taiwanese trademarks by Chinese companies whose products have not only circulated in China but have also been exported around the world.
Not just any legislators:  Taiwanese legislators.  More:
Lawmakers of different political stripes unanimously urged the administration to address the issue of what they called Chinese companies&#8217; barefaced infringements upon Taiwan&#8217;s trademark rights and China&#8217;s controversial regulations on commodities&#8217; country of origin.
Well, not entirely &#8220;different ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Success is hard to define.  We think we know it when we see it.  But we seldom do.  In fact, more often than not we actually misidentify things such as material abundance, popularity or power “success.”  They can in fact be correlative with success, but they are not success or even necessarily proof of success.
Thankfully as we get older this becomes more and more intuitive to us.  We learn to focus our inquiry when thinking about success.  The old maxim that “no man is a hero to his valet” reminds ...]]></description>

Brancheau&#8217;s older sister, Diane Gross, said the trainer would not have wanted anything done to the whale. &#8220;She loved the whales like her children. She loved all of them,&#8221; ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Today is the Jewish holiday of Purim.  (Unlike the biblically-based Jewish holidays, this is one, like Chanuka, on which orthodox Jews such as myself are allowed to blog!)
As well explained in the Book of Esther, it&#8217;s the holiday of turnabout, surprises, false identities, intrigue, perhaps some emotional legerdemain,  and not a little spiritual confusion. The outcome isn&#8217;t always funny, or even fun, except perhaps in the sense of the divine comedy.
It all comes around in the end, though!

		<description><![CDATA[Should a law school be tendering seven figures of money to a minor league baseball team for stadium naming rights?  That is certainly a novel question.
I tackled the whole concept of branding, memory and stadium names in the context of the Mets&#8217; Citi Field deal a few years ago&#8211;but a bank is one thing.  Heck, these guys know how to make record profits just by threatening to go out of business!  So who am I to say?
But a law school?  That&#8217;s something I know a little about!
And&#8230; with all due ...]]></description>

Today is the one-year anniversary of the landmark stimulus bill which most economists agree has staved off a second Great Depression. The evidence that the stimulus has worked is overwhelming – the New York Times has an in-depth article looking at its actual impact on jobs, and an indispensable graphic showing a timeline of key economic indicators before and after its passage. There’s another beautiful chart based on ...]]></description>

No, it&#8217;s not all good.
Years ago I wrote,  &#8221;Google is  not a utility. Or an agent of the state, or a thing that owes anyone anything except to the extent they pay for it. At least for now.&#8221;
Out of nowhere comes Google Buzz.  It&#8217;s social networking that just appeared in your mailbox!  As Adrian Dayton said earlier today, &#8220;I feel a little bit like I have been &#8220;spammed&#8221; into joining Google Buzz.&#8221;

Earthquake victims, writhing in pain and grasping at life, watched doctors and nurses walk away from a field hospital Friday night after a Belgian medical team evacuated the area, saying it was concerned about security.
The decision left CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta as the only doctor at the hospital to get the patients through the night.
Truly awful.  But check out this subtle spin in an excerpt from that CNN article quoted by Instapundit:
Retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, who led relief ...]]></description>

Ed Morrissey is very smart, but he&#8217;s missing something here about Fenstermaker:  He is very, very stupid.  I know this because I he was my adversary in a small case once&#8211;a case, in fact, in which he represented his own law firm, and thereby proved the ancient adage about what sort ...]]></description>

There is a certain irony, though, you know.
The defense representation being offered here is in fact completely legitimate &#8212; n0t only to sleazeballs, slime and creeps, who are constitutionally entitled to their defense (just not by me), but to people involved in all sorts of disputes (but typically divorces) who are wrongfully accused of being sleazeballs, slime and creeps.
But the choices made in these ads completely undermines that bona fide prospective, mainly because in the graphic, hyper-realistic and borderline pornographic pictures, ...]]></description>
