Some sad news in the free culture blogosphere, for those of you that didn't see it yesterday.  William Patry is ending his blog, The Patry Copyright Blog.

Patry's blog has consistently been one of the best sources of information and opinion on copyright cases and legislation.  It's very sad for me to hear that he won't be writing it anymore... If you aren't familiar with it, you could have a fantastic time reading through four years of back issues... over 800 posts.

Sadder perhaps is his (second) reason for ending the blog: that "The current state of copyright law is too depressing."  I think that's a stance many of us in this organization can identify with, and hope to help remedy, but to hear it from such a notable and prominent figure in the field is upsetting.
