- My commentary about The Last Gun Shop In Minneapolis on Tuesday has gotten some notice. It’s good to have other people interested, but I fear it’s all too late.
- Congress is working on Copyright Reform to Free Orphaned works so something might actually end up moving into the public domain again one of these days. [wired]
