• Fruity fraud. Ripened rip-off. Peeled pretender. Banana sham? When a company called Rasta Imposta sues Kmart, accusing the store of selling carbon copies of its copyrighted banana costume, the puns will follow, so we'll get them out of the way here. And while this may sound like an open-and-shut case of an object so ubiquitous as to defy copyright protection, wait until you hear what the (US) Supreme Court said about cheerleading uniforms...

• Former Greens leader Bob Brown has won his High Court bid to overturn Tasmania's anti-protest laws. The laws were passed in 2014 to allow police to stop protests before they had even stated if they were on a business premises or an access area. The court found the laws were at odds with the implied right in the Australian constitution, to the freedom of political communication. The Tasmanian Government has been ordered to pay costs in the case.

• Library trolls copyright zealots by naming collection after Sonny Bono The Internet Archive is an online library known for pushing the boundaries of copyright law to promote public access to obscure works, including classic video games and historic images. Now the organization is taking advantage of a little-noticed provision of the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act to publish complete copies of out-of-print books published between 1923 and 1941. The Internet Archive has named this the "Sonny Bono Memorial Collection."

A written but unsent text message could simply be a partial thought, or something we haven’t committed to sending. So how could an unsent text operate as a will?

• When must a client be saved from himself? It is all a question of money says the Court of Appeal. Do solicitors’ duties depend on how much they are paid?

• What NASA’s simulated missions tell us about the need for Martian law Six people recently returned from an eight-month long isolation experiment to test human endurance for long-term space missions. Their “journey to Mars” involved being isolated below the summit of the world’s largest active volcano in Hawaii (Mauna Loa), and was designed to better understand the psychological impacts of manned missions. It seems humans are on the inevitable trajectory to colonise Mars. It is therefore becoming important to ask what laws will govern humans on Mars as it is to ask whether we could survive on the planet’s surface.
