Matt Levine: "According to pr=secutors, the people investigating Silk Road seem to have believed that Bi=coinia was a land without laws, and that they were entitled to blackmail a=d steal to their hearts' content, as long as they did it online and in bit=oins." Read more...

MIDDLE EAST

The Editors: "Diplomats have =lways been very good at making up deadlines and then missing them. So it s=ould come as no surprise -- and be no cause for concern -- that the U.S. a=d other world powers trying to cut a deal with Iran to limit its nuclear p=ogram may not have a framework agreement by Tuesday, as promised." =span class="topic-read-more" style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;text=decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;font-weight:normal;font-size:17px;line-heigh=:1.6em;text-transform:none">Read more...

WAR

Noah Feldman: "An old saw has=it that 'Arab unity' is an oxymoron on par with 'military intelligence.' .=. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi’s announcement of an agr=ement 'in principle' by the Arab League to create a joint military force m=y just be different. Because Islamic State is unlikely to be defeated by a=r power alone, the U.S. should probably welcome the step -- as should Isra=l." Read more...<=span>

GAY RIGHTS

The Editors: "If only Indiana=Governor Mike Pence were less confused, he might also be less surprised. H=s surprise about the reaction to Indiana's new religious-freedom law stems=from his confusion about what it does." Read more...

Ramesh Ponnuru: "It's importa=t to remember that these religious-freedom laws only create a legal claim =or people who object to the application of a law. They don't guarantee tha= those claims will prevail -- and, in practice, such claims haven't fared =ell in court." Read mo=e...

COMPANIES

Justin Fox: "StubHub created =omething in 2000 that was so useful and successful that it convinced most =ports teams that letting people resell tickets they couldn’t use w=sn’t a terrible thing. Now those teams and Ticketmaster want to ow= that business and push StubHub out of it. I don’t think anybody o=her than Ticketmaster and the team owners will be better off if they succe=d."

CONGRESS

Jonathan Bernstein: "How hard=will it be for Republicans to find another Harry Reid to kick around?" Read more...

LAW

Megan McArdle: "Left-wing adv=cates may well believe that America's incarceration rate is primarily a re=ult of racism and insufficient funding of social services, and that social=justice requires we simply free all but the most heinous violent offenders= But any politician who stated this, and proceeded to follow through, woul= rapidly find themselves out of office." Read more...

EUROPE

Marc Champion: Ed Miliband, l=ader of the U.K.'s Labour Party, chose to give the opening speech of his f=rmal campaign for the May 7 election to businesspeople at Bloomberg's Lond=n headquarters. "That suggests he knows his weakness: Fewer than 10 percen= of business leaders think a Labour-led government would be good for them,=and few voters trust Labour to run the economy." Read more...

CHINA

William Pesek: "China's Xi Ji=ping made a lot of grand promises over the weekend, pledging a new order w=ere China and Chinese-led institutions such as the new Asian Infrastructur= Investment Bank would promote prosperity across the region. But he was on=shaky ground -- literally." Read more...

LATIN AMERICA

Mac Margolis: "When leaders o= the 35 nations of the Western Hemisphere gather in Panama City for the se=enth Summit of the Americas on April 10 and 11, they will have plenty to t=lk about. ... Latin leaders often disagree, but the one axis of indignatio= is their resentment of the U.S." Read more...

SPORTS

Kavitha A. Davidson: "The fal=out from an Indiana law that basically legalizes homophobic discrimination=has reached the sports world, just as the state's capital is set to host t=e Final Four." Read mo=e...
