The number in parentheses is the popularity of each site compared to all other Blawgs this week (by Justia).  I put the Alexa numbers next to each.

Justia's list has 64 Copyright Blogs.  Justia has an Alexa ranking of 11,293.  If Blogs don't self-identify as Copyright Blogs, they are not included.  According to Justia, the most popular Blawg is Above the Law, which has an Alexa ranking of 29,575.

According to the Alexa numbers, the EFF's Chilling Effects Clearinghouse is by far the most popular site, they really must have tremendous traffic, people are really interested in cease and desist letters.  I wrote a chapter in my Copyright Litigation Handbook that is devoted to cease and desist letters.  I think it may be the only comprehensive discussion of the first-to-file rule, problems arising from cease and desist letters, and the issue of declaratory judgment actions filed in response to cease and desist letters.
