Music and Tech Change, What About Laws?
Sunday, January 24th, 2010Last semester the students in the Humphrey Institute’s Science and State class were assigned to write a pseudo letter to the editor on a current issue in science or technology from the perspective of a sitting policy maker. I choose to put on my Senator cap and write about the ridiculousness of damages being awarded in piracy trails, with a particular emphasis on the trial of Minnesota resident Jammie Thomas-Rasset. Given the recent activity that has occurred in that case (Ars coverage here,) I figured now is as good a time as any to throw it up on the Internet.
