Law students (or anyone with a .edu email address) can get their very own PDF copy of the AmLaw 100 poster. I get goosebumps just thinking about it!
Don't Link is back online after exceeding its bandwidth allocation. I've sent in my own submission - Law.com's linking policy states:
No material from the law.com Web site may be copied, reproduced, framed, hyperlinked, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or distributed in any way ... Use of any robot, spider, other automatic device, or manual process to monitor or copy our Web pages or the content contained herein is strictly forbidden.
I presume one is not allowed under this rule to visit the site with any frequency, because that would be considered manually monitoring...
And just so I can violate it, Mo' Money for Mo' Money! Gateway loses $3.7M because it published Mo' Money's number as its own customer service number. Oops!
"And just so I can violate it..." - go for it! Copyright says you cannot COPY - but you can quote (fair use), parodize (derive), and so on... Only bunch I know of to override that is Scientology, by claiming their stuff is "trade secret" or some such.
Love those all-inclusive whatchamacallums that cannot actually be enforced. Been laughing at 'em since they started inside the shrink=wrap of software packages back in the seventies, which as far as I know have never been brought to court because even software types don't want to go in front of a judge and say our customer is liable for a contract never shown until after it was "accepted". And on another site today, someone said there is now a book out with a shrinkwrapped "agreement" inside.
Kinda like the stupid bit about a year ago: I think it was Doritos, but maybe not, whose package announced a sweepstakes "no purchase necessary - detils inside!"
Okay, I'm blathering and offtopic, just cannot seem to keep associative memories out of it.
