Another Way to Understand Twilight and Authors
,----[ Quote ]
| There is an extra point here. When Ms. Meyer
| says she canât continue with the book, she
| is giving honest information to her fans:
| certain acts (i.e., unauthorized copying and

US free speech lawyer Marc Randazza discusses Glenn Beck parody
,----[ Quote ]
| Wikinews interviewed US free speech lawyer
| Marc Randazza, on his defense of a parody
| website which satirizes American political

| questionable tactics "to spread lies and
| misinformation".

| The case Beck v. Eiland-Hall is currently
| before the World Intellectual Property
| Organization (WIPO) in Geneva, Switzerland.
| Wikinews previously reported on the case, in
| an article earlier this month, "US free

| with camp dynamics -- such as impact on
| good order and discipline.''
