- The son of the great Walter Matthau won a legal battle with the William Morris Agency this week involving the agency's alleged right to commissions from payments received in connection with Mr. Matthau's employment contracts. You can read the California state court's opinion here.
- And another interesting opinion from the California state courts in which the Los Angeles Unified School District argued that the City of Long Beach and its city attorney were not "persons" under the California Public Records Act and therefore were not entitled to request admittedly public documents under the Act.
- For all the WoW fans out there (and I know there are one or two of you), Blizzard Entertainment reportedly announced that it is suing Peons4hire, one of the so-called "gold spammers" who send in-game messages to players advertising their power-leveling and gold selling services. According to the announcement, which was posted on one of the WoW forums, "the operators of Peons4hire have been asked to immediately cease all in-game spamming efforts" or face "further legal action." I'm still trying to get my hands on a copy of the complaint. You can see the post and learn more about Blizzard's efforts to reduce gold spamming at the WoW website.
- I can't top William Patry's description of the recent Ninth Circuit opinion involving copyright and other claims brought by the daughter of Orson Welles in connection with Citizen Kane so I won't even try. But see here for a copy of the Ninth Circuit's opinion.
- According to The FOIA Blog, the Society of Professional Journalists was trying to unmask the senator who placed a secret hold on FOIA legislation pending in the Senate and SPJ thinks it may have succeeded.
