bIPlog has a blurb on retailers using the DMCA to stop Fatwallet from offering price comparisons using data from their websites. Since Fatwallet understandably don’t feel like fighting the cease and desist and becoming yet another test case, chalk one up for the ever more likeable DMCA (and trigger happy lawyers).

In other news, Lessig is right in the Eldred case. This is from judge Posner, a « darling of the conservative movement », which makes this statement stand out. Who cares when wacko left-leaning hippies say it, right? Anyways, I’ll be happier when the supreme court agrees. In the meantime, bIPlog has a discussion.
