Supreme Court Seems Skeptical About
Cable Claims In Brand X 03/30/2005 06:50 AM
While most of the Supreme Court attention yesterday went to the Grokster case, the Justices also heard the Brand X case, which was an appeal on a rulin g from a few years back, saying that the FCC was wrong in classifying cable broadband services as "information services" instead of "telecom services" -- and, thus, opening up the cable companies to forced line sharing rules. While it might not mean anything, the initial reports suggest that the Justices were skeptical of the cable companies claims, and seemed to wonder why cable broadband and telco broadband were being treated differently. Unfortunately, the case isn't quite as straightforward as it might appear. The reason the telcos have line sharing rules in the first place is because they came by their copper lines through the breakup of a government granted monopoly. These were systems built with government backing (though, as some have pointed out, the cost of those lines should be next to nothing by now). Most of the cable systems were built by private companies. That's a big distinction, and really is at the heart of this case. While both sides claim that competition will be stifled if the other side wins, that seems unlikely (either way). With the FCC leaning again st line sharing, even if cable offerings are classified as telecom services, they might not be required to share lines. However the court decides, though, it is likely to influence many other FCC rulings that impact a variety of different services, such as VoIP -- since it will set up the regulatory framework by which the FCC can rule across both cable and DSL. If both are aligned, it should also play into how they regulate wireless broadband technologies as well. In other words, the specific decision may not have a direct impact right away, but the eventual consequences may be far reaching.

Dems on the Supreme Court

Dems on the Supreme Court 01/11/2004 07:56 AM
So an underplayed aspect of this campaign has been how the Democratic candidates would differently select the Supreme Court. On NPR's debate , Senator Lieberman pointed to Justice Souter as a model. Congressman Kucinich plugged Justice Ginsburg. I've gotten a couple pings asking what the right answer is. Hard question for me. Of course neither Ginsburg nor Souter were on the correct side (or the right side) of Eldred, but I certainly think Justice Souter is a model justice -- serious, hard working, unburdened by ideology, prepared. I never quite get the principle that guides Justice Ginsburg's choice between activism and not, or principle and not, so I'm waiting to see the genius in that selection by President Clinton. Justice Breyer of course wrote a brilliant dissent in Eldred -- brilliant, though not effective. He was proud of the decision's embrace of economics as the standard by which the Sonny Bono Act was judged. But while I'm a fan of the result, I've been too deeply affected (scarred?) by the originalism/textaulism/fidelity theories of Scalia to be enamored of that method. In my view, perhaps the best sitting justice is a Republican appointee -- Stevens. And if candidates are looking for what makes the best the best, then it is certainly his judges' judge-like character. There's no simple line that predicts Justice Stevens' result -- certainly not a political line. And if there is any quality this Court needs, it is that -- following a line that does not seem a political line. The most impressive judges not sitting on the Supreme Court are also, um, Republicans. (What party am I again?) Judge Kozin ski is a great judge -- too young when appointed, but someone who has matured brilliantly in the job. And while his views about how to the interpret the constitution make me cringe, history will record the greatest judge of our time as Judge Posner. But I doubt that this is the time that a President from either party will pick greatness as the reason to select a Justice.

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Over on Lessig's blog, Tim Wu has enumerated 10 reasons that the Supreme Court is likely to hear the Grokster case:

1. These is a stated legal conflict on the Sony standard as between the 7th and 9th Circuits;
2. The 7th and 9th Circuits disagree (albeit in partially in dicta) on the relevance of willful blindness to secondary liability;
4. The Court has these matters in hand: it has granted cert. in many similar cases historically (Sony, 1980s, White-Smith (the Piano Roll case) 1909, Teleprompter and Fortnightly (Cable / Broadcast, 1960s & 1970s);
5. The Court has a vague sense that some far-out stuff is going on in the field of “Computer Law” that maybe it should check out;
6. Law clerks use KaZaA & BitTorrent to plan basketball games;
7. Stevens and Breyer deeply dig this stuff;
8. Scalia likes anything having to do with property;
9. Souter got his first computer last week.

And most importantly,

10. The Court loves to be the center of attention, and this would make it so.
