From Copeland v. Netflix, Inc. (D. Del.), decided today by Third Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas, sitting by designation: Fame has many costs. One comes from the First Amendment: It shields publishers from lawsuits when they report inaccurately about public figures involved in public controversies (as long as they do so without “actual malice”).

The solution is more housing, and the question is, what is holding that back? Recent research (Cato Research Brief no. 424) finds that land-use regulations have made construction firms less productive: The likelihood that a project is approved decreases as its size increases.
