It is with pleasure and relief that I can report that I plan to leave
all of my analyses of the raw AmLaw 100 statistics (here, here,
and here)
up on "Adam Smith, Esq." despite ALM Media’s request that I take them
down as violative of their copyright.

The blogosphere is justly famous for constituting an on-demand network
of "collective intelligence," and it has confirmed that reality in spades
for me over the past 24 hours.  I’ve had the benefit of the
counsel of nearly a dozen IP and non-IP lawyers, including the general
counsel of a major media outlet, and have concluded that my reinterpretation
and manipulation of the AmLaw figures is well within my rights to publish.
