The growing Australian IP blogosphere
 
Warwick Rothnie (first posts: October 2004) and I (first post: way back in June 2002 believe it or not) are starting to look like elder statespeople in the Australian IP blogosphere. While I've been not nearly organised enough in pointing it out, there's a new generation getting into IP blogging now. So if you've not visited them yet, I suggest you have a bit of a look at:
  • Peter Black's Freedom to Differ: not just IP but IT and Australian law and the occasional bit of pure fun. (As Peter has had pointed out to him numerous times, he will be far more interesting when he starts expressing more opinions... hint hint hint hint I know you have them Peter, really I do! But then, I can scarcely talk - if you look at my early posts, I'm far less interesting than Peter is now)
  • The House of Commons: from the young and enthsiastic at UNSW's Unlocking IP Project (Abi, Catherine and Ben) (I feel old, really old...)
  • Nic Suzor: QUT/Creative Commons dude with blue hair and occasional posting of thoughts on various matters IP.
House of Commons has a particularly fun post today on the Copyright Amendment Act - particularly notable for its 'Artist's Impression' of the Australian Copyright Act.

So these are the ones I know about. But I'm keen to point out more, if people just email me a link. My reliance on RSS feeds means I often find out about things way after they arise... Let the conversation begin.

Update: remiss of me not to note, of course, that this is just the law IP blogosphere. Notable in the 'beyond law' category is colleague Joshua Gans, MBS economist whose interest in innovation makes the blog a worthwhile stop for those interested in these kinds of issues...

Update 2: a reader reminds me that we should not, in the 'IP blogosphere', reminds me that I should also include these:
