In my continuing quest to avoid doing real work today, I added a list of my preferred legal research sources (statutes, regulations, caselaw, dockets, etc.) to my resources page: james.grimmelmann.net/files/resour...

The 16th Edition of my Internet Law casebook is out! Overview: internetcasebook.com Table of contents: www.semaphorepress.com/downloads/In... PDF download (suggested $30): semaphorepress.com/InternetLaw_... Print-on-demand ($75.10): www.amazon.com/dp/1943689245 A brief thread on the update:

I'm very happy to announce the publication of my new article, "The Internet and the Lost Law of Transit," in @yalelawjournal.bsky.social. Check it out here: yalelawjournal.org/article/the-...

In case anyone is curious to study how network effects lose critical mass, search inclusion is a good opportunity to update scientific theories of collective action

I'm been wondering if it would come to this and apparently it has. huge move from cloudflare, which hosts a fifth of all websites on earth.

All in all, this publication was 8 years in the making! A personal record!!! The slightly longer version of the titular claim is that you cannot understand the current truce in the crypto wars with the instrumental understanding of privacy that has prevailed both in legal thinking & crypto policy

Read the fascinating new piece “Security Is Not Enough: Privacy in Encryption Regulation and Lawful-Surveillance Protocols” by ISP Fellow @arturpericles.art: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

I read absolutely anything @nikenberger.bsky.social writes. Never disappoints!

The rule against viewpoint discrimination is one of the most imptl in First A law. But as I show in a new paper, forthcoming in the U Penn Law Review, the test of viewpoint discrimination has changed a LOT in the past few decades, in good ways and bad. 🧵 papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

babe, wake up, the new Zotero just dropped it's got "recently read" and "read aloud"

The most unrealistic part of the entire franchise is a video conferencing system that works seamlessly without any user error. Don't even get me started on the hologram.

Remember the law-review author who outsourced his writing to generative AI? The one that made me say, "I now know that neither this attorney’s new article nor their old one is worth reading." He outed himself, and it turns out the article in question is as bad as I predicted. Worse, even. 1/

The author of the article has decided to identify himself, in a long post over at the other place. Here are screenshots. The article itself is here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Legal writers: I've posted to SSRN a short user's guide about how to use the Zotero citation manager and its Word plugin to automatically generate Bluebook citations that are 95%* compliant. The paper explains which fields to use for which type of source, and examples of generated citations.

I had the most wonderful time at #ILWIP! It was my first time attending, and it was truly such a supportive conference. Being lucky enough to have the Alex Roberts in the room and liveblogging my talk was the cherry on top! More on the paper: arturpericles.art/publications...

tldr: my job talk paper (see below) argues that if the "public benefit" of generative AI (see 4th fair use factor) is that it democratizes cultural production, then AI vendors should stop preventing users from engaging in fair uses of copyrighted works >> papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
