CHANGE: Montgomery College forced to revamp ‘Occupy’ class. “Montgomery College is revising plans to offer a summer class on the Occupy Wall Street movement — geared toward high school students — after residents complained that the class is promoting the Occupy movement’s agenda to students.” I’ve got an alternative syllabus.

TEN YEARS AGO ON INSTAPUNDIT: I just found (via Overlawyered.Com) that the New Orleans Rave prosecution has ended in humiliating defeat for the prosecution, with the plea-bargain they managed to extort now being struck down. I consulted on some earlier proceedings in this case with the ACLU and the Electronic Music Defense and Education Fund. (Here’s an earlier story by Janelle Brown of Salon, and here’s a piece Dave Kopel and I wrote in National Review Online calling for President Bush to fire the U.S. Attorney involved — he quit first.) The entire prosecution was a disgrace — and proof that the New Orleans U.S. Attorney’s office has too much time on its hands, or a deeply distorted sense of priorities, something that I hope Congress will remember at budget time. Accountability is for the little people, alas.

NOW HOW ABOUT AMERICA? How the European Internet Rose Up Against ACTA. Prime Minister Donald Tusk of Poland sent a letter to his fellow leaders in the EU Friday urging them to reject ACTA, reversing Poland’s course with the controversial intellectual-property treaty, and possibly taking Europe with them. “I was wrong,” Tusk explained to a news conference, confessing his government had acted recklessly with a legal regime that wasn’t right for the 21st century. The reversal came after Tusk’s own strong statements in support of ACTA and condemnation of Anonymous attacks on Polish government sites, and weeks of street protest in Poland and across Europe. The seeming overnight success came after both years of work by European NGOs, and the spark of the SOPA/PIPA protests in America (which included Wired.com). ACTA, or the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, is an international treaty that was negotiated in secret over the span of four years. While the provisions are currently public, their genesis was hidden from democratic scrutiny, and most nations signed on to ACTA without any chance for their citizenry to review or comment on the process. Beyond its undemocratic origins, it’s often unclear how ACTA’s requirements would be implemented, or could be implemented without creating a technical architecture online that restricts speech. For instance, ACTA’s harsh DMCA-like provisions against anti-circumvention could effectively render some free software, which by its nature can’t support DRM, illegal in the Western world. A cynic would suspect that was much of its purpose. How about making this a campaign issue?
