No matter how you count it, Lemley is in the Michael Jordan/LeBron James realm of legal scholars, widely recognized as one of the greatest.

Glad someone who can get Zuck’s attention in a meaningful way is calling him out. It’ll likely have no effect on his shitty decisions, but it may have a useful effect on their legal issues. Woohoo!

Neo-Nazi madness

Wow, that is savage. Doubly so because it's coming from a man who chooses his words carefully. Lemley is doing the exact opposite of the obsequious grovelling that Zuckerberg and others are performing for Trump.

It's funny, considering how Lemley's convictions on Fair Use are regarded by so many lemmings.
