Justice in the Blogosphere
It is with pleasure and relief that I can report that I plan to leave all of my analyses of the raw AmLaw 100 statistics (here, here, and here) up on "Adam Smith, Esq." despite ALM Media's request that I take them down as violative of their copyright.
The blogosphere is justly famous for constituting an on-demand network of "collective intelligence," and it has confirmed that reality in spades for me over the past 24 hours. I've had the benefit of the counsel of nearly a dozen IP and non-IP lawyers, including the general counsel of a major media outlet, and have concluded that my reinterpretation and manipulation of the AmLaw figures is well within my rights to publish.
