Happy Holidays! Be careful out there – scammers can hack Google Forms to send official looking emails from Google.com, so merely looking at just the domain of where the phishing email is coming from is not always enough. This person lost a lot of cryptocurrency. Techdirt had a nice post on the victory by the defendant in the “Winning Isnt Normal” copyright case. Finally, I liked the update from the Library of Congress reminding us that small copyright cases can be brought more expeditiously and inexpensively before the Copyright Claims Board.
