This week, copyright law is in the eye of the beholder as U.S. District Judge James Donato weighs in on a Jehovah’s Witnesses organization’s efforts to uncover the identity of a Reddit user. Plus, Facebook attempts to cleanup the fallout over the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, but it faces another challenger. And a district judge takes a stand on attorneys fees.
