Wasn't this article up on HN a couple of days ago from another site?

Yes but perhaps Stanford Law is a better primary source for this topic?
She is general council for a company that would really like a 'hey we tried' interpretation of the DMCA [1] and only a 'Non Resident Fellow', so I'm not sure I would read the posting as having the full editorial weight of Stanford Law.

Jennifer Granick used to be the Director of Stanford's Center for Internet and Society. She still teaches at Stanford Law regularly, and she was previously Civil Liberties director at EFF and counsel at a boutique Internet law firm. I don't know what you mean by "editorial weight" here, but you certainly shouldn't discount anything the author says on account of where she works or her current affiliation with the Center for Internet and Society.
What I meant was that Jennifer Granick posting an article to a blog hosted on a Stanford server is different than Standford Law posting an article.
Thanks for the link to Jennifer's site, where the conversation started.
