SCOTUS to Hear Eldred v. Ashcroft
Posted by Ernest Miller on Wednesday, February 20 @ 09:55:16 EST Copyright
The Supreme Court of the United States has decided to hear the case of Eldred v. Ashcroft which challenges the constitutionality of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998. The New York Times (reg. req.) publishes a report on the Court's decision (Justices to Review Copyright Extension) and an analysis of what the case may mean (Case Could Shift Balance in Debate on Public Domain). The Washington Post also covers the story and has a number of good Supreme Court related links (High Court to Hear Case on Copyright). Wired has a good story that looks at some of the background and broader issues (Setting Boundaries on Copyrights). Much more information can be found at the Berkman Center's Openlaw website on the case (Openlaw: Eldred v. Ashcroft). Slashdot, which has followed the case closely, posts a story (Supreme Court Accepts Eldred Case).
