Another article about the fight against spam. It’s pretty amazing how much time and money is being tied up in this issue, but it’s important, spam is slowly killing the growth of the internet. New users inundated with spam never get over that first impression of the internet. (Especially when you add in the popup ads!)

Michael Jardeen writes an open letter to the music industry. I have to agree with him, I’m not nearly as big a music collector as he, but I can’t see any reason to ever buy a copy-protected CD.

    Legal Tech Twitters?

    I saw a post by Jennifer Leggio today about locating network security folks on Twitter, and I wondered how many people who work in the legal technology field are using twitter or other social networking apps. In fact, following Jennifer on Twitter also helped me discover Twitterpaks, which is a wiki setup to encourage new…
