Books Do Furnish A Room: In a dark room we can do just as we like
http://booksdofurnisharoom.blogspot.com/2009/02/in-dark-room-we-can-do-just-as-we-like.html
Books Do Furnish A Room. Saturday, February 07, 2009. In a dark room we can do just as we like. In a nutshell, I think Johnson is too quick to downplay, 1, the damage that even "unenforceable" policies can do, and 2, the long-term social and political costs of states criminalizing, rather than merely ignoring, the "counter-economy" or radical sector more generally. The discretion such laws inevitably require. If everyone is guilty of something, officials can effectively target people. Against the arbitra...

Books Do Furnish A Room: Response to von Lohmann
http://booksdofurnisharoom.blogspot.com/2009/02/response-to-von-lohmann.html
Books Do Furnish A Room. Wednesday, February 04, 2009. Response to von Lohmann. Fred von Lohmann of EFF. Stopped by and left a comment that's worth addressing directly:. I'm not quite that pessimistic. I think the general approach of the settlement - a collecting society to solve the problem of getting permission for all the orphan works, along with an opt out right - is the right one. At the same time, I agree that we need to take steps to reduce the "Google monopoly over books" risk. That said, I don't.

Books Do Furnish A Room: December 2008
http://booksdofurnisharoom.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Books Do Furnish A Room. Friday, December 12, 2008. Huh I drafted this post a year and a half ago, but just noticed yesterday that it was never "published." I suspect that I meant to get back to it and write more about how Prakash's arguments fail, but what I did write is free-standing enough that it might be of interest to jurisprudes. At first glance this just seems a fancy way of restating the obvious. Isn't this what Amar's intratextualism is all about, or Balkin's search for original principles,...

Books Do Furnish A Room: April 2008
http://booksdofurnisharoom.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Books Do Furnish A Room. Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Consequentialism and the demandingness objection. The demandingness objection against consequentialism- that, since it bases the right on maximizing the good, it demands perfection from moral agents- has never struck me as being all that problematic. Indeed, I'm rather puzzled that so many find it a reductio; what's so weird about the claim that you should always do better? Posted by X.Trapnel. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Books Do Furnish A Room: January 2008
http://booksdofurnisharoom.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Books Do Furnish A Room. Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Thoughts on Hayekian liberty and democracy. Some scattered thoughts, while rereading The Constitution of Liberty:. I'm not very surprised by how close he is here to something like Pettit's republicanism. But I am surprised by the similarities between his view of law's generality and Rousseau's. (This is what comes of having a terrible memory, and even worse note-taking habits.). Posted by X.Trapnel. Links to this post. Monday, January 07, 2008. This, ...

Books Do Furnish A Room. Monday, July 28, 2008. Constitutionalism and the Is-Ought distinction. Orin Kerr and Sasha Volokh have an interesting back-and-forth here. That they have no role to play in determining the limits of the relevant interpretive community? Posted by X.Trapnel. Links to this post. Monday, July 14, 2008. Trying to be heroic in an age of modernity. BELATED UPDATE: err, while the particular Sugarbutch.net posts linked below are pure social theory, the site itself has a lot of smut th...

WhatKathyDid: December 2010

Tuesday, 28 December 2010. A proper white Christmas. Regardless of what the bookies say, Christmas in Dublin was as white as white can be. We took our plastic bags up the hill and flew down at top speed, getting caked with ice and snow as we braked. Brilliant! Links to this post. Thursday, 16 December 2010. On stage at Bright Club. Something I never, ever, thought would happen: me doing stand up. This was last Monday at Bright Club. Links to this post. Friday, 3 December 2010. This one's for you Lee!

WhatKathyDid: November 2010
http://whatkathydid.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, 11 November 2010. Out of the sandstorm into the rain - love it! Can't wait to get down to the boat this weekend. The weather promises to be sunny. After 3 days of winds and rain. Mind you, I can't really complain about the weather. On Monday I was enjoying 27 degrees-worth of bright sunshine in Leptis Magn. A, Libya. I was working at the weekend doing teacher training for doctors but had the Monday free. On Tuesday we had to fly home in a sandstorm! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
