In an otherwise great piece for CNET (not run on his list), Declan reported last week that Judge Posner expressed skepticism about expanding IP rights, and that he "praised [me] for challenging the CTEA." Declan's a careful reporter, but there is exactly zero chance that Posner said that. Whatever his views about the economic merits of the Sonny Bono Act, federal judges (and especially this seasoned and careful federal judge) don't go around expressing personal views about the merits of pending lawsuits.
