service" under the Communications Act so that it may be more
comprehensively regulated by the agency. Public

But, Wait, Didn't The Entertainment Industry Insist ACTA Wouldn't
Change US Law?, Techdirt
It's been amusing watching the entertainment industry lobbyists try to
come up with talking points in support of their most favored trade
agreement du jour, ACTA. A popular one is that nothing in it can or
will change US law. But, of course, if you talk to the folks who know
how these things work in DC, you quickly learn that's hogwash. There
wouldn't be any ACTA at all if

FCC's Neutrality Rules Too Murky To Help Consumers? - But just murky
enough to help the entertainment industry?, dslreports
If you recall, legal experts have already stated that the FCC's
proposed network neutrality laws -- as currently worded -- are so
murky they might not be of any substantive use. Just as with the FCC's

Pete Bouchard and the Battle Against Bogus Takedowns, Citizen's Media
I'm not one for local news broadcasts. When I do watch, it's to enjoy
the unintentional humor brilliantly parodied by those like the Onion
News Network. But WHDH-TV's Pete Bouchard recently made me reconsider
the comedic opportunities of local news, delivering an instant classic
one-liner that quickly found its way onto YouTube.
