Sunday Snippets

Today's LA Times business section has an article on unanticipated invocations of the DMCA (Media Copyright Law Put to Unexpected Uses; reg. req.). The Berkeley DRM Conference gets going later this week with an impressive roster of speakers. (Look for bIPblog's Mary Hodder to blog this, according to Donna; hopefully Professors Lessig and Felten will have some thoughts too.) Finally, if the DVD CCA plans to petition the U.S. Supreme Court for certiorari regarding the Pavlovich decision (PDF), I believe its time within which to do so expires after tomorrow.
