The NY Times is reporting that the US Supreme Court has ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency is required by the Clean Air Act to regulate carbon emissions. Senator John Kerry is quoted as saying "It's an historic moment when the Supreme Court has to step in to protect
the environment from the Bush administration."

It seems that the Department of Homeland Security want to take TRON off the shelves. According to the story "the Department of Homeland Security has designated the 1982 film TRON as 'sensitive', and ordered Walt Disney Studios to turn over all copies of the film", as some scenes in the film were shot at a Lawrence Livermore nuclear fusion facility known as Shiva. "the DHS declared the film 'sensitive' and demanded its surrender." I'm now concerned about the scenes that show WOPR in Wargames.

The RIAA is slowly beginning to find itself in an awkward position when a few among its many, many lawsuits don't manage to follow through. Typically, when they decide a case isn't worth pursuing (due to targeting the wrong person or not having sufficient evidence), they simply move to drop the case and any counterclaims, and everyone goes separate ways. But recently, judges have been deciding to allow the RIAA to drop the case, but still allowing the counterclaim through. According to the Ars Technica article:
If Judge Miles-LaGrange issues a ruling exonerating Tallie Stubbs of infringement, it would be a worrisome trend for the RIAA. The music industry has become accustomed to having its way with those it accuses of file-sharing, quietly dropping cases it believes it can't win. It looks as though the courts may be ready to stop the record labels from just walking away from litigation when it doesn't like the direction it is taking and give defendants justice by fully exonerating them of any wrongdoing.
