Groklaw Shifts Gears, Now Stressing Preservation 123
dan of the north notes a change of direction at Groklaw. Pamela Jones (PJ) writes: "I think we need to use this time to perfect our work and ensure Groklaw's preservation. It will require shutting down the daily articles and News Picks, at least for the forseeable future, but I'm convinced it's important to do it. One of the core purposes of Groklaw has always been to create a reliable record for historians and law schools to use our materials to teach and inform. ... I choose to make sure our work as fully reliable, comprehensive and, to the degree humanly possible, permanent. ... Groklaw's collection of materials is really valuable. I'd like to ensure that it survives. ... We've covered the SCO litigations since May of 2003, and it's the only complete record of this important phase in IT history."

PJ said in the first interview [linux.org] (31 July 2003):
"I was forever reading Slashdot comments about legal news and most of the comments would be way off..."
I'm shocked!

That's pretty damned scary.
I have finally understood it! Society is running Windows! That's why the legal system is slow, overly complex, buggy, expensive, designed by marketing I mean campaign contributions, applies itself to things that are not legal problems, and not under the control of the average end users! Suddenly it makes sense.
Yeah, that's still pretty scary.

There's no law that says that Groklaw has to have anything to do with FOSS.
The only other legal thing Slashdottians are interested in is stealing music, and NewYorkCountryLawyer has that sewn up.

IANAL, but she might be right.
