[Brutal Women note: This was originally posted on 1/7/05: I am re-date stamping it for 1/27/05 to keep the comments current, as it’s received some interest.] Brendan’s found a couple of good articles.

I’ve been feeling for the last week or so that I’m fighting an uphill battle, and rapidly losing ground. I’ve had a number of freakouts lately (food binge twinges, exercise shrug-offs, early-to-bed “low” days, and two very, very uncommon twinges of claustraphobia – weirder still because they came within a couple weeks of each other),

I’ve been paying particular attention to the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios v. Grokster case on whether or not file-swapping services are at fault if their users decide to download copyrighted files.
