  • "Michael Weinberg joined Public Knowledge as a full-time Staff Attorney after two years as a part-time Law Clerk and Student Intern. Although he is involved in a wide range of issues at Public Knowledge, he focuses primarily on copyright, issues before the FCC, and emerging technologies like 3D printing. He also makes videos every once in a while. Michael received his J.D. from The George Washington University Law School where he was awarded the ABA-BNA Award for Excellence in the Study of Intellectual Property Law. Prior to GW he worked in New Delhi and Beijing, and received a B.A. with honors in History and Government from Claremont McKenna College."

  • "Rob Pegoraro writes about computers, the Internet, consumer electronics, and other things that beep and blink. From 1999 to 2011, he wrote as a columnist for the Washington Post, but now for freelances for clients including Discovery News and the Consumer Electronics Association's Tech Enthusiast program. When he can't form his words into a story or a blog post, you'll probably read them on Twitter instead. Or you may hear them on the radio or see them on TV. Rob started at the Post in 1993, in which time he sorted mail and answered phones, wrote for almost every section in the paper (National, Metro, Style, Sports, Health, Food, Home, Weekend, Real Estate, Outlook, Sunday Arts, Sunday Source, Travel, Book World and the Magazine), and appeared on the front page all of three times."
