This space unintentionally left blank.

Greetings,

My name is Erik Heels, I am a lawyer, and this is my LawLawLaw newsletter, available at http://www.lawlawlaw.com.

LawLawLaw includes my observations on trends in technology, IP law (trademarks, domain names, and patents), baseball (long story), and rock ‘n’ roll (longer story). Besides IP law, I’m good at spotting trends, connecting people on social networks, fixing things, boiling eggs, and a handful of other things.

I try to keep LawLawLaw short (fail), relevant (win), and timely (draw). Please be aware (forward this to your friends) of a new trend on the Internet (forward to your friends), which I only recently discovered (forward to friends), namely subliminal advertising (forward this). Thanks (you rock)!

Do not drink or ingest contents.

Regards,
Erik

LAW STUFF
—————————————————————–

The “Law” section includes info about trademark law, domain name law, and patent law (all of which I practice) and partially about copyright law, privacy law, and security law (which I do not practice, but which are fun to write about due to mucho epic fail). The three biggest stories since my last newsletter: (1) Homeland “Security” seizing domain names in a silly display of #SecurityTheatre, (2) everybody and his cousin ganging up on Wikileaks, and (3) ICANN approving an infinite number of new top-level domain names (think “.greed”).

  • Winning: Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.

MUSIC STUFF
—————————————————————–

The “Music” section includes info about musicians, the music industry, and laws impacting both. For example, the music industry has been busily eliminating revenue (by pretending it has a right to the “status quo”) since the Internet was discovered by Al Gore circa 1999. Newsweek declared 1995 the year of the Internet. Old business models take a long time to die. My prediction is that it will take a generation. 30 years to be specific. So I expect the music industry to be sane and to have stopped fighting gravity by 2025. My friend Joe is a music teacher, and he likes to remind his students that music existed well before music notation. By 2025, it may be too late for the record labels. But who cares. Music existed before music notation, it will continue to exist after the last of the old school music labels dies off.

  • Winning: Apple, Beatles, new media.
  • Losing: Amazon, RIAA, Status Quo.
