- Chicago is considering rules that would regulate drone use, including registration and insurance requirements (ABA Journal)
- It turns out that “Happy Birthday to You” may be in the public domain, a fact discovered all thanks to a dedicated law librarian (Above the Law)
- Here’s a nice breakdown of the legal questions involved in Deflategate (Stradley Law)
- A judge has dismissed the request of a conspiracy theorist to release photos of Kurt Cobain’s death scene (Seattle Times)
- And finally, the TSA has a new enemy: Morrissey (Lowering the Bar)
