"And doing great things with the time he takes — so check out

Ditto and "what he said." If you've noticed a slowdown at LawMeme, it's because Ernie's posts
are on his personal blog now, and he must be foregoing sleep in order
to post as often as he is at The Importance
Of (RSS
feed here, although I'm going to take a moment to plead with
Ernest to provide a feed with the full text of his posts!). He's
really been on a roll the last few days.
On a more depressing note, make sure you follow the link above to

do not have a right to "fair use" of the digital files we purchase.
Not surprising given the way the entertainment industry has framed the
debate and paid for legislation over the last decade, but discouraging
nonetheless.
If legislators were forced to vote today for the "right of first
sale" of digital files, which is the exemption that has traditionally
allowed libraries to circulate physical materials, I wonder how many
of them would blindly sign it away without a second thought to
libraries. If public libraries didn't already exist, would we be able
to start them in this day and age? My guess is no.
