View From the Bushes

I'm coming down with something. Right now it's just a sore throat, and I'm hoping to keep it that way. In one sense, I'm surprised it took so long. I've been getting less sleep than I should for quite awhile and certainly I've been exposed to enough stuff -- my kids are sick just about every time I turn around, but I guess I was lucky until now. The real scare was this morning at 4 am when I woke up with a really sore back; for a while I thought it was the flu, rather than just a cold, but ibuprofen and a better sleeping position seemed to knock that out, so I'm hopeful...

In other news, it turns out that on Tuesdaythe Supreme Court will be hearing arguments on the legality of peer-to-peer software. While I understand that much of the peer-to-peer traffic involves illegal transfer of copyrighted material, I have a hard time seeing how the technology itself can be considered illegal, and so far all of the lower courts have felt the same way, so my suspicion is that SCOTUS will feel the same, but you never know.
