Stanford Law School pays her salary. Maybe Google stock is in the endowment, through a managed fund, but I assume a lot of stock fits in that category. And, if Google were funding her research, Google would be unhappy. Google just came out against real net neutrality (as anyone with pound of sense would know). So your accusation is factually wrong and just incoherent. It’s not true that her salary is funded by Google. Stanford Law School pays her salary.

In the post notice the last note: the digital version won't be out freely online for three years. Maybe you should email MIT Press with reasons why a digital version would increase sales :) Good question about digital version.

Could be true, I don't know. But she contributed to this OpEd that that calls Verizon and Google "giant galoots" who have struck a deal that would, "destroy the promise of a neutral network." http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_15745767 But I could be missing something.

I have been told the core arguments have largely carried over to the book, so you may want to go for an interlibrary loan copy of her thesis from Technische Universität Berlin library before actually going for the book.
