Blog Status During December

This is my final week of classes for the quarter, next week is the start of my exams, and after that I'll be taking my first vacation in a very long time. As a result, posting to the blog this month will likely be light and sporadic. Once January comes around, I should be able to resume posting regularly on copyright law again.
