Beautifully-written blog by Dennis Keen, who has the unbelievable task of studying eagle hunting in Asia on a Fulbright Fellowship. Read especially his fascinating Eagle Babe article from last November. - EU’s new copyright leader doesn’t believe private copying should exist
The worrying appointment of Maria Martin-Prat as head of the European Union’s “intellectual property” unit.
