On: Judge Who Doesn't Understand Technology Says WiFi ...

I have to agree that the article is very biased. The judge also says that if he interprets "radio communication" to include all technologies that transmit over radio waves, then it contradicts existing 9th circuit precedent that classifies cell phones as "wire communication". It seems like the judge understands the technology well enough, but is struggling to come up with a legal interpretation that makes sense.

Yea, I think the law itself is flawed here in the classification.

Sounds more like the judge has a particular conclusion he wants to reach, and interprets the law accordingly.

Which is how judges often work....
