Sony revenues were £45 Billion ($68
Billion) last year, so the fine was 0.0005% of revenue.
Dan Worth reports:
Sony has given up
its appeal over a fine of £250,000 from the Information
Commissioner’s Office (ICO) having originally vowed to fight the
case. The firm claimed it has done so in order to
avoid revealing information on its security procedures [Or lack
thereof? Bob] rather than because it now agrees with the
fine.

“After hearing from politicians who
were upset that journalists were writing bad things (or no things)
about them, we have decided to become more journalist=friendly.”
Department
of Justice Report on Review of News Media Policies
Statement
of Attorney General Eric Holder on the Justice Department Report on
Revised Media Guidelines: After conducting a
rigorous review of internal Justice Department guidelines governing
investigations and other law enforcement matters that involve
journalists, Attorney General Eric Holder today released a report
outlining several key reforms to the department’s protocols, as
well as the following statement:
“The Department of Justice is firmly
committed to ensuring our nation’s security, and protecting the
American people, while at the same time safeguarding the freedom of
the press. These revised guidelines will help ensure the proper
balance is struck when pursuing investigations into unauthorized
disclosures. While these reforms will make a meaningful difference,
there are additional protections that only Congress
can provide. [Translation: “The law still allows us to do whatever
we want.” Bob] For that reason, we continue to support
the passage of media shield legislation. I look forward to working
with leaders from both parties to achieve this goal, and am grateful
to all of the journalists, free speech advocates, experts, and
Administration leaders who have come together in recent weeks – in
good faith, and with mutual respect – to guide and inform the
changes we announce today.”
It appears that this
parallels my research, blending technology and education. Still no
push-button learning tool.

“Legal
practice and legal education are both at challenging inflection
points, where much of how and what we do as lawyers and how and what
we have taught as legal educators comes under scrutiny. Legal
technology is an important factor in driving the challenges we face.
As we reform our curriculums in this moment of change, we should be
guided by considerations of value added, values added, and economic
sustainability. Law and technology is an area that is ripe for
expansion in our teaching, with the possibility of satisfying all of
these criteria. It also provides ample room for scholarly
examination. Creating opportunities for learning how technology is
shaping legal practice should be a priority for any school looking to
provide a useful education for the lawyers of the present, let alone
the future.”
I look forward to more geo-gastronomic

adequate-to-good slice of pizza from a randomly chosen pizzeria is
greater than 50 percent."
