Geist-edited daily Internet law e-newsletter to cease publication

One of the best roundups of e-commerce, copyright, and technology policy news has been BNA Internet Law News , edited by the University of Ottawa's Michael Geist. I've been getting the publication in my inbox every day for a decade. It's a great digest that was vital when I was a technology reporter and has been just as helpful when I moved to cover federal politics six years ago.

But in today's issue of BNA Internet Law News, there is the following note from the publishers followed by a note from Geist:
