  Gizmodo found a way to put the Gawker story back up

  on Actual Creators Of Email Not At All Happy The Fake Creator Of Email Got Paid For His Bogus Claim
  By quoting liberally from it in a new story about the settlement, of course.

  on Ridiculous: Nick Denton Settles Remaining Charles Harder Lawsuits, Agrees To Delete Perfectly True Stories
  The joke was that they've already done it about another lawsuit that got their original story taken down.

  So how long until a Gawker editor files another story about Ayyadurai where they get to quote their original story from the lawsuit?

  on Like The Rest Of The Internet Of Things, Most 'Smart' Locks Are Easily Hacked
  Yeah, but this is more like a dumb lock that spit out a copy of the key if you asked it nicely.

  on Good Ruling In California Protects Anonymity Of Online Critics -- Even When The Information Was False
  Good ruling, but the way the reasoning reads leaves me a little worried that it might have gone the other way if the email was worded a little differently.

  The easiest way to shut down Gawker

  on Yes, A Billionaire Looking To Destroy A Media Organization Through Lawsuits Is A Big Deal Even If You Don't Like The Media Organization
  Stop reading their stories. Isn't this just a giant Streisand effect encouraging people to go back and read the original story?

  Booooo

  on Judge Says Copyright Case Against Star Trek Fan Film Can 'Live Long' And Possibly 'Prosper'

  on Walking Dead Producer Claims Real Cable Set Top Box Competition Will Result In Piracy Armageddon
  Put your shows on platforms I subscribe to. All of them. Amazon Prime. Netflix. Make your shows a dollar an episode and I will absolutely buy them. But instead, every channel has its own website, with its own login, and its own stupid broken flash player that doesn't work. Make it easy for people to watch your shows, and they will. But if your site works less well than a pirate website, people will go elsewhere.

  on Swedish Court: Wikipedia Hosting Photos Of Public Artwork Is Copyright Infringement For Some Reason
  I'm going to pick on your language here Tim, because technically correct is the best kind of correct.
  
  First of all, any registered user can upload a photograph, not just admins. Second of all, most photos are uploaded to Wikimedia Commons rather than English Wikipedia, so that they can be used on other language Wikipedias or other Wikimedia projects.
