The Audio Home Recording Act directly says that noncommercial copying by consumers is lawful.

We put fear and prejudice on trial, and fear and prejudice lost.

When you think of Napster, you think of music. But the first thing that struck me was that this was an important case not only for the music industry but for the whole Internet.

I expend far too much of my maternal energies on guilt and regret.

I have one rave New York Times review framed next to a flop Los Angeles Times review. And it's for the same show. These people watched the same show. That's what happens. They love it, they hate it.

The United States is hacked by everybody.

Learn to attack things frontally but according to the most scientific methods.
