The Copyfight crew has been joined by a new contributor: Alan Wexelblat. Alan, who got his PhD at MIT's Media Lab, works for EMC-Legato and runs HOVIR, an independent consultancy, and has been a longtime commentator on copyright issues. His first post: discussion of charges brought by the federal government against the pornmaker Extreme Associates that were thrown out by a U.S. District Judge in Pennsylvania the other day.
