Lessig on Eldred
October 12, 2002
Lawrence Lessig blogs his thoughts on how his arguments before the Supreme Court went.
I mentioned this case to Kiara, but NPR had been doing its job and she already knew about it. Great! She was quite interested, as was I, in the story of the bookmobile. I hadn't heard of it until Aaron Swartz mentioned it.
And on a related note, in the latest issue of New Architect magazine, Lincoln Stein writes about the Hollings Act, and Bret Fausett writes about how technology is undermining the concept of fair use in copyright by enforcing copyright protection far beyond what the law intends. This is something that Lessig discusses in great detail in The Future of Ideas.
