It’s been an ongoing battle against spam on the blog lately — mostly, trackback spam. Our filter for trapping regular comment spam works pretty well, but people were able to sneak in several hundred spams a day using an attack on the trackback mechanism.
It’s not really mine, but rather Beth Noveck and Jack Balkin’s. It’s The State of Play: Law, Games, and Virtual Worlds, and it has a great list of contributors, including Richard Bartle, Yochai Benkler, Ted Castronova, Susan P. Crawford, Julian Dibbell, A. Michael Froomkin, James Grimmelmann, Dan Hunter, Greg Lastowka, Beth Noveck, Cory Ondrejka, & Tracy Spaight. The topic is right in the title, of course. I believe the piece of mine that is in there is Declaring the Rights of Players.
