[Air-L] lawsuit on behalf of researchers who study the Internet

[Scott MacLeod]

Christian (and AIR),

Thanks for this important work. I just this morning re-tweeted the
Atlantic article -
https://twitter.com/kanarinka/status/748959083588296704 - where you are
mentioned, to World University and School's Twitter feed -
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch.

CC WUaS plans to offer and teach CC MIT OCW-centric courses on hacking -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hacking_-_Computers_(certified,_ethical)
- newly emerging from CC Wikidata (leaving Wikia), and as WUaS
accredits, and vis-a-vis MIT OCW, for example here -

http://search.mit.edu/search?site=ocw&client=mit&getfields=*&output=xml_no_dtd&proxystylesheet=http%3A%2F%2Focw.mit.edu%2Fsearch%2Fgoogle-ocw.xsl&requiredfields=WT%252Ecg_s%3ACourse+Home%7CWT%252Ecg_s%3AResource+Home&sectionlimit=WT%252Ecg_s%3ACourse+Home%7CWT%252Ecg_s%3AResource+Home&as_dt=i&oe=utf-8&departmentName=web&filter=0&courseName=&q=hacking&btnG.x=0&btnG.y=0
-

and especially in CC World University and School's planned online
accrediting law schools -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Law_School - in
all countries' official languages.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Scott
