...fact, the question was a telling one. Nesson carries around a digital recorder with him at all times. His blog boasts a taped discussion with a policeman in which the professor offers details on a domestic altercation with his wife, Fern. (There’s also an apology to Fern for “revealing”—that is, posting online—an unrelated conversation between the pair of them, which he taped without her consent.) In short, Nesson has something of a track-record for causing trouble with unauthorized recordings. In the fall...
This week , in addition to the 15 Hottest Freshmen, FM brings you a behind-the-scenes look inside Harvard Law School Professor Charles R. Nesson's '60 fight against the RIAA. Writer Christian B. Flow '10 follows the Twittering, marijuana-loving professor on his quest to protect alleged file-sharer Joel Tennenbaum, a college student who is being sued by five major record labels for downloading seven songs and sharing several others in a high school.

Just a couple of weeks earlier, the professor had made waves in the legal community when he posted an e-mail chain to his blog suggesting an idea for a new, radical defense. Perhaps individuals like Tenenbaum, downloading music for free on-line several years ago when there weren’t any suitable for-pay options such as iTunes, weren’t committing a copyright infraction.
