[One addendum: It's true that the Princeton bookstore is selling DRM'd ebooks. But the Princeton bookstore is independent of the university. Perhaps the university resents the implied affiliation? --Declan] -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [IP] more on Princeton U. contumacy Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 11:09:36 -0400 From: Paul Levy <plevy@private> To: <dave@private>, <declan@private> I don't see the shield to which the Princeton lawyers are referring. Surely engadget didn't take DOWN the Princeton trademark, used fairly as an illustration for the story? What cowards, if so. Time for everyone to start using the shield to illustrate their comments on how stupid Princeton's lawyers are........ Paul Alan Levy Public Citizen Litigation Group 1600 - 20th Street, N.W.

Actually allows downloading one heavily copy-protected pdf to one machine. All very silly and the object of a fair amount of criticism, such as: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000153053372/ What's unusual about that is that Princeton's lawyers responded to that posting and made it clear where they stand on protecting intellectual property.
