I know that updates to this blog have slowed to a drip, and I’m sorry for that (to anyone who actually cares). Law school is marching along, I suppose. This semester seems easier to me than last year. One reason is that my family is here this year, but another reason is that once you find your stride, it’s just day-to-day like everything else.

One of the more stressing events of this semester is writing my comment — a 40-ish page paper that is due in a couple of weeks. My topic is going to surround “ethical hacking” and how the law treats ethical hackers and unethical hackers the same. I plan on talking about (to varying degrees) the DMCA, DeCSS, ElcomSoft, the role of ethical hackers, and a few other anecdotal stories.

If anyone in the community wants to leave a tip or information, please email me (link above) or leave a comment. I would like, essentially, to write a critical paper about the DMCA in those ways that “we” in the community always complain.

UPDATE: By “we,” I mean those of us in the computer community.
