Summary: Tonight we decided to talk about Groklaw and fake/bot Twitter accounts

In addition to the above, we also covered Internet trolls, GNU/Linux advocacy, copyright maximalists with a sense of entitlement, etc. Tim will post the show notes very shortly.

The show ends with Tim's selected tracks, which are titled "Virus" and "The Curse and the Serpent". We hope you will join us for future shows and consider subscribing to the show via the RSS feed.
