Yu raises and discusses four important questions about copyright law in light of Eldred v. Ashcroft.

Lame (Score: 0) by Anonymous on Wednesday, February 19 @ 09:32:30 EST | Wu's article is extremely lame. Here is just one example of its myopia:
Indeed, the public interest safeguards -- such as the idea-expression dichotomy and the fair use privilege -- are just as important as the grant of the right itself.
But the most important public interest safeguard of all in copyright law is copyright expiration. Neither the Eldred majority nor Wu seem to appreciate its importance. |
