just a brief coda on my predictions for file swapping. According to The Washington Post, fileswapping is up again in October and November after declining steadily from June to September. I note that coincides somewhat with the college year, if new students get oriented in August/Sept., get a taste of broadband, and start fileswapping. that last is just speculatiuon on my part.
Stay tuned . . . .

“It’s never acceptable to call for genocide against Jews or anyone else.”
This should have been an easy answer, a softball and yet university Presidents at some of our top institutions cannot say calling for genocide against Jews is wrong. The antisemitism runs too deep.
I appeared today before Heritage committee as I emphasized concerns with regulatory capture by legacy lobby groups on Bills C-11 & C-18. But the appearance provided the chance to sound the alarm on antisemitism and need for accountability and to speak out.

My initial thoughts on Google deal. Good news there is an agreement, but hardly a big win with less than $100M in new money in a deal available a year ago, harm from Meta’s news exit and government upending Bill C-18’s core principles to salvage the bill.

Excellent piece on the contribution of private antitrust enforcement by @LeeHepner that is well worth your time, citing scholarship by @Robert175295943 and @JoshuaPDavis3.
