Summertime!

Had my final yesterday.  My second year at law school is over.  Hallelujah.  Today I am engaging in my traditional post-finals celebration.

Awesome new internet radio

With this post I'm also beginning a new Linux category.  I've had so many adventures with Linux already, it occurs to me that someone else might benefit from the stuff I've figured out.  I thought of putting all my Linux tips on a single page, but really the blog mode is better.  If you want to just read my Linux posts, go down to the "Categories" box on the lower right and click "Linux."  Duh.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me

A group of Canadian musicians recently released a statement saying they support file sharing: www.musiccreators.ca

Then I found a website of a guy who was sued by the MPAA (like the RIAA) for file sharing, but is insisting on taking the case to trial. This frightens the MPAA because they've never had a case actually go to trial. If they lose, they won't be able to sue small children any more. Then how will they make money?

All this got me thinking about file sharing and how I recently swore it off because I want to be an ethical lawyer. I'm not saying I'm about to start violating the law, but it's gotten me to thinking about it. I already think it's acceptable as a philosophical issue. For those of you who haven't had the honor yet, here's my file sharing rant:
