Intellectual Property Law

FISA

By Susan Crawford

At four euros/half hour for internet access, I won’t be writing much today - but thank goodness for Sen. Leahy:

?I have said since the beginning of this debate that I would oppose a bill that did not provide accountability for this administration?s six years of illegal, warrantless wiretapping,? said Leahy. ?This bill would dismiss ongoing cases against the telecommunications carriers that participated in that program without allowing a judicial review of the legality of the program. Therefore, it lacks accountability measures that I believe are crucial.?

More from ArsTechnica.  Good luck to everyone involved today.

ICANN Paris starts tomorrow.  I’ll write here when I can.
