I guess I better write something this week...



It appears my little blog has been selected as IP Osgoode's Pick of the Week (maybe it was last week? -- I'm just noticing it now).

IP Osgoode is a relatively new research group dedicated to IP law at Osgoode Hall Law School (York University) in Toronto - Canada's internationally recognized leader in legal education. Here's how the IP Osgoode group describe themselves:

We aim to provide balanced and objective research, offer new and unexplored viewpoints to public policy discussions which are inclusive of the opinions and interests of a broad range of IP stakeholders (including governments, nongovernmental organizations, the legal community, businesses and the general public) and ultimately, act as a facilitator for the flourishment of a knowledge-based society in Canada.

And here's how they describe this site:

John Degen, poet, novelist, and Literature Officer for the Ontario Arts Council, has a fascinating and eclectic personal blog that revolves around artistic creation.

I have to say, it's refreshing to see a professional, inclusive, balanced site presenting the entire Internet and Intellectual Property law picture. Thanks for picking my blog. That explains the spike in readership.

You deserve this accolade John, don't doubt it. Not sure what the ever-courageous Anonymous is referring too but...then really, who cares?

@sandy_crawley if you didn't care then why take the time to comment? Obviously the shills care ;)
