		<title>Textbook pirates, aaargh</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Looks like someone in the publishing industry&#8217;s PR machine has been hard at work peddling this story:
Textbooks, free and illegal, online: Use of pirated works hurting publishers
I&#8217;m sure that piracy is cutting into sales, but as is typical, the story lacks any quantitative data substantiating its overall alarmist tone.
As far as eLangdell is concerned, this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Law, not just the Internet, fuels fundraising success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sure, the Internet has given Barack Obama&#8217;s presidential campaign an incredible fundraising edge. But smart use of technology only partially explains the breathtaking numbers (over $260M raised, over 1.5M individual donors). Obama&#8217;s online fundraising strategy is possible only because of the Federal Election Campaign Act &#8212; ironically, the very legislation that pundits claim he now [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don’t Let Internet Trolls Get Your Goat: politics is divisive enough without them taking a toll</title>

		<title>From transactions to relationships: building power on the Internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another piece I wrote for the Rebooting America project:
Twentieth century mass media offered a first-pass solution to the problem of scaling democracy to a rapidly-growing American republic. Whatever its virtues, the solution that radio and television provided is incomplete. Mass media atrophied our understanding of democratic participation, offering instead a politics that mimics the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Allison Fine invited me to submit essays for the Rebooting America project. This one&#8217;s an overview of codelaw:
As a lawyer-cum-techie at Massachusetts Law Reform Institute in the mid-2000s, I became aware of computer system called Beacon used by the MA Department of Transitional Assistance (a/k/a “welfare”) to distribute various benefits such as food stamps to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enlightened doubt : Wikipedia&#8217;s postmodern search for truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like most students who dabbled in postmodern theory during college, I came away with a certain skepticism towards &#8220;truth,&#8221; yet managed to emerge with a belief &#8212; call it faith &#8212; that Truth was still out there. Stanley Fish offers a plot summary of the story so far in todays&#8217; Times. As a practical matter, [...]]]></description>
