Earlier this week the IPKat said that John Lambert was the first barrister in the UK to author an IP blog. Turns out the IPKat was wrong by just over a month. He has been informed about the Geeklawyer blog, which is written by an employed barrister. The site mostly follow a digital libertarian agenda and will often investigate concerns about the abuses of IP law by governments and corporations, but from a pro-IP perspective. This blogmeister also writes a site named Geeklawyer.org, aimed mostly at geeks interested in IT and IP.
The IPKat wishes both new bloggers good luck.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
