Perian:
Thanks for the links. I've just wasted a marvelous half hour (lunch! lunch
hour!) reading this stuff - and surfing along to other tempting links like
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/15/politics/16text-blogs.html?ex=1158379200en=e6676d7af917367cei=5070
and

did.)
Ah, yes: http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/051121ta_talk_toobin
These gentlemen are my kind of guys. Think Kozinski would agree to be keynote
speaker at next year's MCN meeting?
:o)

If you're interested in some of his decisions (if only from an entertainment
standpoint), the unofficial fan site offers several opinions:

I have to say that Mattel v. MCA Records (24 July 2003)
(http://notabug.com/kozinski/mattel_v_mca )is something of a sidesplitter (or
maybe I'm just a nerd):
KOZINSKI, Circuit Judge:
If this were a sci-fi melodrama, it might be called Speech-
Zilla meets Trademark Kong.

Barbie was born in Germany in the 1950s as an adult collector's
item. Over the years, Mattel transformed her from a
doll that resembled a German street walker, as she originally
appeared, into a glamorous, long-legged blonde. Barbie
has been labeled both the ideal American woman and a
bimbo. She has survived attacks both psychic (from feminists
critical of her fictitious figure) and physical (more than 500
professional makeovers). She remains a symbol of American
girlhood, a public figure who graces the aisles of toy stores
throughout the country and beyond. With Barbie, Mattel created
not just a toy but a cultural icon. (etc.)

Yet another recommendation. Seems like this webcast is a must:
I've actually seen him lecture on fair use before. He is indeed quite a
character; extraordinarily brilliant, but also one of the funniest and most
entertaining speakers around. -Tyler Ochoa (speaker, MCN 2006 Pasadena)

Thanks for forwarding this, Amalyah. I've been following Judge
Kozinski's career for a while now. He's definitely a character!! It'll
be interesting to see what he has to say on the topic.
