Syllabus Glitch
Multichannel News notices (no link available) that, “In describing the central legal issue in Brand X, the syllabus got it completely wrong, saying that information service providers like AOL and Earthlink were heavily regulated common carriers and phone companies were free from such mandates. A senior cable industry lawyer said he might bring the mistake to the court’s attention.” Thanks to the reader who passed this along.
Ouch. A big screw-up by one of the Thomas clerks - the Reporter’s Office writes the syllabi, but the clerks have to review them for accuracy.
