Hey Hi,
Welcome to the Mus?e Asiatica ? founded in 1999 by Michel Postel, a scholar
and collector, the temporary keeper and protector of these treasures. It is
his desire that visitors to his Museum discover more about the ancient arts
of India, Nepal, Tibet and China, and enrich themselves with the culture of
these Asian countries.

These gentlemen are my kind of guys. Think Kozinski would agree to be
keynote speaker at next year's MCN meeting?

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

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.
