Ugh - the Berman Coble bill is starting to take enough shape that people are commenting [now, including Slashdot] and it looks pretty awful - even with a sop to the webcasters. At least Illiad can keep a sense of humor. Wired has a new Palladium spin article - this is going to go on for quite a while….

And I just rediscovered the Shifted Librarian weblog - this analysis of the Jupiter meeting earlier this week is worth a look!

UPDATE: Sorry - kind of a busy day here, so I’m a little behind. One key piece: Slashdot is reporting, and I can confirm, that Steven Levy’s Newsweek piece on Palladium posted on MSNBC’s www site is gone (find the text at Cryptome). Here’s the other stuff I have….

(4 items listed below)

• Declan McCullagh discusses elements and implications of the emergent Berman and Coble bill on ZDNet (includes TalkBacks). Slashdot also has picked it up with a few more links.
• Illiad suggests an accounting explanation to help the RIAA’s position on file sharing.
• Paul Boutin joins the Palladium spin cycle at Wired.com

• GrepLaw has a distressing interpretation of a California court ruling on digital file sharing - of porn.
