Top 10 Legal TED Talks, by Tim Baran, Legal Productivity Blog

http://www.legalproductivity.com/op-ed/top-10-legal-ted-talks/

Have you heard of TED? It began in 1984 as a conference and now covers a wide range of topics in more than 100 languages.  Think of it as a massive brain trust that shares great ideas and information.

Each of the law-related TED talks listed in this article are worthwhile on their own: (1) four ways to fix a broken legal system; (2) eliminate legalese by using plain English; (3) how to beat a patent troll; (4) how the Internet will change government; (5) laws that choke creativity; (6) copyright law; (7) why eyewitnesses get it wrong; (8) how technology could make crime worse; (9) the Internet and anonymity online; and (10) how great leaders inspire. -CCE

Linkedin Sues To Stop Bots That Are Stealing Its User Profiles, by Jeff John Roberts, Gigaom

http://tinyurl.com/kqrmr9h

LinkedIn has filed a lawsuit to stop competitors that are scraping its servers and gathering hundreds of thousands of LinkedIn’s users’ profiles. The competitors use bots that use the information stolen from LinkedIn to create false profiles that attempt to interact with LinkedIn’s users. LinkedIn’s Complaint is included in Mr. Roberts’ post. -CCE

[I]t’s not immediately clear if LinkedIn has a clear-cut legal case since it is not necessarily illegal to copy information from a website. In its complaint, the company is relying on its own terms of services that forbid scraping as well as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.

In the meantime, LinkedIn users may wish to be wary about which invitations to connect they accept.
