Your explanation makes good sense. I hadn't read your piece before on the MSFT v AT&T case--that's also encouraging. You're doing great work!

I admit that I find wonky copyright stuff intolerably dry, even though it has major ramifications for my lifestyle.

As far as the lawyers “winning” — well, who could expect anything else?
