A Fall Cornucopia Of Blawg Articles
Rick Klau has a fun and informative article -- and I'm not just saying that because he plugs yours truly and some of her faves ;-) -- in the October edition of Law Technology News (registration required to access all the following links), entitled How I Learned to Love the Blog, in which he continues to explore the importance of weblogs for law firms. Rick also provides a handy Blogs Sidebar. In fact, the issue is a big legal weblogging fest, with Guy Alvarez offering To Blog or Not..., and -- hi there! -- something I originally posted to The Technolawyer Community, called What You Need to Know about Blogs.

Roundly Entertaining
Matt Round, author/designer of the wonderful Malevole blog (shortlisted in yesterday's Guardian roundup of best British weblogs, which I link to with trepidation in light of a glaring omission; via Dave Winer) has a Tribute To Ray Harryhausen that is a scream (pun intended). Well worth your time and bandwidth!

Can I Have An ASCII Of That?
The more I see this kind of Herculean effort [JD Lasica, When Bloggers Commit Journalism; yes, I know this is a column, not a blog entry] -- and those of, e.g., Doc, Donna and Dan, as well as my own carpally minacious outings -- the more I think we're in for an intersection between the world of weblogging and the world of court reporting. Which is not to say good blogging consists of regurgitating who said what at an event. But the significance of the fact these tools let anyone "report" firsthand on limited or closed proceedings that may be of interest to whole swaths of people who cannot attend should not be ignored.

As The DID Turns
Says JD Lasica, of a conversation with Doc at Digital Hollywood:
Monday night, at a party on the rooftop of the Beverly Hilton, I asked Doc to explain his support for the Digital ID initiative now taking hold in high-tech circles. I went in expecting to oppose the idea, for privacy reasons, and Doc turned me around 180 degrees on the issue. He'll be a speaker at Digital ID World in Denver on Oct. 9-11.My talks with people on the subject have been similarly wide-ranging; this conference is going to be fascinating (despite the fact I'm also on the roster).

Updates
Checking in on a couple of previously mentioned lawsuits:
Milberg Weiss has a page discussing its Dickey v. Universal Music Group case, concerning "certain music discs [which] have been rendered unreproducible or unstable for use in many computers and disc players...," including a form to be used for reporting such discs.
Still no news since June 14 from the 321 Studios "News" page. (Earlier notes here and here.)

No Bots Allowed?
There's a good Wall Street Journal article by Phyllis Plitch from 9/16 on the trespass to chattels doctrine (subs. req.), and specifically about Bargain Network and its dispute with Homestore, settled earlier this year. Don't forget to keep an eye on Intel v. Hamidi for the California Supreme Court's take on related issues in the context of unsolicited email.

"I Think He Came From Outer Space."
There's a wonderful article in today's Los Angeles Times (here and here -- the second is the printer-friendly version) about Larry Lessig and Eldred v. Ashcroft. It includes observations from James Boyle, Judge Posner and Patricia Lessig (Larry's mom; see quote above), among others, and provides a good complement to the Steven Levy piece in Wired.
