- Eldred v. Ashcroft lawyer Larry Lessig bangs his head against the wall because he has concluded that he is a bad person because he did not persuade the Supreme Court to strike down the Sonny Bono copyright extension act, and release lots of stuff into the public domain: Legal Affairs: My anger with the conservative [justices] quickly yielded to anger with myself. For I had let a view of the law that I liked interfere with my view of the law as it is. |

- For years, programmers have been arguing that writing code is oddly similar to writing poetry. In both cases, the idea is to write with the maximum compression possible -- cramming the most amount of meaning and substance into a very short space. That's why the best programmers are always praised for the elegance of their code -- how spare and clean it is. It's kind of like early modernist poetry, which tried to strip language down as far as possible, the epitome of which might be Ezra Pound's famous "In a Station of the Metro". This comparison is not actually as fey and aesthetic as you might imagine: |

- Apparently people who have long-term GBV-C (hepatitis G) infections are less likely to die from AIDS. "We found strong evidence that HIV-positive men who have persistent GBV-C infection survive longer than those who do not have GBV-C. The survival advantage is large and depends on how long the GBV-C infection persists," says senior investigator Jack Stapleton, M.D., of the University of Iowa and Iowa City Veterans Affairs Medical Center. |

- Sharman Networks, the Australian company behind Kazaa, had several of their premises raided last month. Today, their claim that the search was illegal has been rejected: The court today upheld the validity of the orders issued to record companies to search and obtain evidence about the activities of Kazaa in Australia. The Anton Piller orders - by which a court empowers a party, that has alleged wrongdoing, the opportunity to enter premises and search for evidence - were issued by Justice Murray Wilcox on February 5. Justice Wilcox also dismissed an application by Sharman to delay proceedings against it until a similar case in the United States was finalised. |
