LiveBlog – Prenda’s “Good Old Fashioned Bench Slapping”

Many are aware of the impending courtroom dustup in the Prenda case. For those that aren’t, here’s the worlds briefest precis (from the worlds most longwinded blogger).

Prenda and a slew of other companies are the creation of half a dozen people, (mostly lawyers, but some are imaginary). These companies try to sue people under copyright law for the alleged sharing of media (in part or whole) they claim is copyright registered. However, aside from suing to get personal info, they avoid litigating the case on its merits, because its all about extorting settlements. There’s been a lot of contradictory statements to different courts, and now one judge, Federal Judge Otis D Wright II, wants to get to the bottom of it. His last attempt, March 11th, was foiled but now it’s time for “A Good Old-Fashioned Bench Slapping” as one person has put it.

[LIVE] Dragon*con Liveblog Monday September 3

Final day of the Con, and it’s the shortest. I’ll  still have a bunch of insights, and observations of the goings on. However, the Con ends at 4pm so this liveblog will end early.

My 4th and final panel is today. Slightly unusual as well in that we’re going to try streaming a panellist from California; the Internet Defense League‘s Holmes Wilson

[LIVE] Dragon*con Liveblog Sunday September 2

Day 3 of the Dragoncon coverage and today I have another panel!

This time it’s the first of the EFForums panels I’m on and it’s with Blair, who I’ve worked with before.
Should be an interesting day, and will go on later than other nights, because of Hacking 201.

Here’s the Politics&P2P Dragon*Con Liveblog for Friday August 31 2012

Not on any panels today. I was due to be on one, but I had to pull out as it conflicted with Hacking 101. There will also be the parade – expect a video soon. I’m also going to make it a point to go to the Baen travelling slideshow, which will be simucast to WorldCon up in Chicago.

I’m taking part in two panels today, both on the BritTrack, in the Macon room of the Sheraton, details at the bottom. But through the next 4 days I’ll be liveblogging things. If you’re at Dragon*Con, hunt me down, I’ll mostly be around the EFForums track.

[LIVE] – Pirate Party Elections in Greece and Schleswig-Holstein

It seems like only yesterday it was the UK election, and now there’s two; a national one in Greece, and a state election in Germany..

Going to try and give you the best coverage possible, from a pirate perspective. We’ve included a number of pannelists from around the Pirate Party, and between that and twitter, we should have you covered, if you don’t speak German or Greek.

LIVEBLOGGING: Uk Pirate Party Local Elections 2012

Because of the fun of the last liveblogging session, I’m going to try and liveblog the election. Mostly, it’ll using on the 8 candidates put up by the UK Pirate Party, but also Steve Radford’s (Liberal party) campaign, for Mayor of Liverpool – the man who got me started in politics.
