RECAP update: it's probably OK

I'm a day (OK, almost a month) late and a dollar short with this update, but I'll post anyway. Public Citizen's Consumer Law & Policy blog reports that we should "feel free to use RECAP," the Firefox plug-in that helps you reduce your costs when you need to access documents filed in federal courts.

I had posted a few weeks ago that I would be wary of using a hackwork-around that would help an attorney avoid paying PACER fees. But, hey, if the Chief for Public Access and Records Management at the Administrative Office of the United States courts says it's OK to use RECAP, who am I to argue?

Um, this is not legal advice.
