		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve probably heard by now about the change that Facebook made to its Terms-of-Service (&#8221;TOS&#8221;) policy last week regarding the company&#8217;s &#8220;perpetual use&#8221; of a user&#8217;s information even after the user terminates his/her Facebook account.  It prompted an outcry, with many users threatening to quit the service.  Facebook has now done a complete about-face and announced, for the time being at least, that the old TOS [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I heard the Author&#8217;s Guild claim that Amazon&#8217;s new Kindle 2 text-to-speech feature violated an author&#8217;s copyright, all I could first think of was . . . good grief.  And being a lawyer with a good stable of Yiddish terms, the phrases &#8220;oy vey&#8221; and &#8220;meshugenah&#8221; came to mind also.  This nifty feature allows the Kindle to read the e-book&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I don&#8217;t practice criminal law, I thought this story was worth a quick mention because of its far-reaching implications for both privacy rights and criminal law.  A federal judge in Vermont has ordered a criminal defendant, Sebastien Boucher, to decrypt his hard drive so prosecutors can view the unencrypted files.  Specifically, the judge wants Boucher to type in his [...]]]></description>

Flatulence&#8212;or more specifically, fart noises&#8212;is apparently big [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure whether to be amused or upset by this story, but I thought it was worth a quick post.  It seems that a petulant 19 year-old in Florida took the law into his own hands when he was told by a Starbucks customer that he couldn&#8217;t use the customer&#8217;s laptop to check his Facebook [...]]]></description>
