Back On

A lot of people were disappointed last month when the news broke that Stanford Professor Carol Shloss had settled her lawsuit against the Joyce Estate. This may make it up to them: "Having obtained what she sought in her complaint (the right to publish her Electronic Supplement on the internet) and more (the right to publish it in print, too), Professor Carol Shloss has asked the Court to order the Estate to pay her attorneys' fees based on the unsubstantiated positions the Estate took for years, only to back down once finally challenged." The motion for attorneys' fees is here.

At Ars Technica, Nate Anderson says: "Essentially, this boils down to 'bullies need to be taught a lesson.'"
