    The Site in Question is lsulaw.com.

    Now maybe we can do what the school wants to do and take down the site with a good slashdotting.

    When lawyers sue lawyers, no one wins.

    No, wait. That makes them too busy to sue any of us. So I guess all of us win!

    This is an outrage!
    You have posted a link to a NYT article without saying (free registration blah, blah, blah). This is near criminal negligence. How many will suffer this morning, hungering for their daily dose of corporate/institutional war on our rights, when they click on the link innocently, thinking they will soon be in righteous indignation heaven, only to be confronted by, by, by...... a LOGIN?
    Oh the humanity! For shame.

    Dilbert: Why does your simulation only count law students as half a person?
