Another batch of links for you. This batch is heavier on censorship news and freedom of the press type issues, rather than law. Something’s happened with LAW.com‘s Law Technology News Feed, giving me tantalizing headlines but no actual articles. Oh, well.
A few fascinating links in today’s post, not least of which is A Year from a Window in Oslo, Norway. Enjoy!
