I've never doubted there was a connection between certain professors, their corporate connections, and how much press they get. But I've never gone as far in my allegations as Emily Brill in this piece on Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society. "What most readers don't know," she writes, "is that the Berkman Center and many of its leading professors have financial and personal ties to Google and other tech companies-ties that are not disclosed when these academics speak or publish." The connections have nothing to do with what they write, these gurus may reply - but don't bother trying getting a Microsoft sponsorship or Google support if you're not writing highly convenient articles, because you know and I know it's not going to happen.
