Two weeks ago Cindy Cohn, the lawyer made famous in 1993 for Bernstein v. Department of Justice, held a Book Release party w/Corey Doctorow and has now announced that she's stepping down on 01 June, to be replaced by Nicole Ozer.

It will be interesting to see how the new skipper pilots that vessel, and especially in regards to the atrocious volley of legislation like California's AB 1043, that already has people preparing to disenfranchise Californians through changes in their licenses or AUP/ToS - forbidding people residing in California from using services seems to many as a sensible solution to the antics of an insane, despotic legislature; To others, it is a knee-jerk reaction to something that may never come to pass.

Anyway, here's the scoop on that announcement:
