Here’s my latest for The Montreal Gazette’s Legal Matters. Not a bad little piece about ownership of videos you post online, in light of the Pauline Marois ad business from last week. I talked out of my ass a little bit, but hey, that’s what lawyers do.

Just discovered your blog through your article in the Gazette. It addresses a topic I’m passionate about; privacy on the web. I also enjoy your writing style very much.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. It seems fewer people are these days…I miss the good ol’days of the InternetS :-).
Long life to your blog.
Thanks for your nice comments RB!
Good article Allen. I really appreciate your vulgarity of the internet law…
