Here we'll explore the nexus of legal rulings, Capitol Hill
policy-making, technical standards development, and technological
innovation that creates -- and will recreate -- the networked world as we
know it. Among the topics we'll touch on: intellectual property
conflicts, technical architecture and innovation, the evolution of
copyright, private vs. public interests in Net policy-making, lobbying
and the law, and more.
Disclaimer: the opinions expressed in this weblog are those of the authors and not of their respective institutions.
The "criminal?" Cory's friend Jorge Cortell. The "crime?" Teaching (to a packed hall) about the law and benefits of legal uses of P2P. Sr. Cortell apparently made the mistake of informing the national police and the attorney general in advance. They exerted pressure that led to Cortell's eventual firing.
I tend to find these sort of stories highly incredible. "Obviously I had to resign to save his job". Obviously? If he had not resigned, he would have had a chance to fight back, now he's just a sore loser.
I am a spanish blogger, and there is a great revolution happening in Spain and spanish weblogs right now. People are debating and confronting different opinions about several issues involving Cotell but sadly none refering to the mentioned P2P discussion.
They are trying to blame Cortell in his website for trying to fool people with some rare unviersity degree they asume he had obtained by mail. There are several controversial issues which if you understand spanish should read.
