ThruIT

So at the end of each week here at ThruIT, we will review interesting stories related to IT policy and law from around the globe. Or, at the very least we’ll post whichever quasi-interesting policy stories have turned up on Gizmodo.

At any rate, two standout items this week are the patenting of a particular flavor of the “sudo” UNIX command by Microsoft, and the MPAA-forced shutdown of a municipal WiFi network over one illegal download.
