IP Notes

FYI, for those fans of our Grokster case archive, we've also recently 
put up an archive of the Sony v. Universal case for your perusing and 
personal enjoyment:

Make sure to check out Universal's Supreme Court Petition for Rehearing 
(http://eff.org/legal/cases/betamax/betamax_petition_rehearing.pdf), 
where they argue, among other fascinating theories, that there is 
additional evidence of market harm because surveys show some people are 
choosing to stay home and watch time-shifted movies instead of going to 
the theater and waiting in line.  Also, the document includes 
declarations from the NBA and NHL objecting to commercial skipping and 
Dr. Gene Scott objecting to home-recording of his TV sermons because it 
would allow rogue ministers to hold home bible study sessions that 
conflict with his religious beliefs.
