Slashdot Mirror
Eldred Transcript, Bookmobile Experience
Patrick writes "The transcript of the oral arguments in Eldred v. Ashcroft is now online." Such exciting lines as: "CHIEF JUSTICE REHNQUIST: Well, but you want more than that. You want the right to copy verbatim other people's books, don't you?". See previous stories about the oral arguments and Lessig's thoughts on them. chromatic writes "The O'Reilly Network has just published Richard Koman's Lessons from the Internet Bookmobile about his travels with Brewster Kahle to Eldred v. Ashcroft. I particularly like how he describes the universal positive reception."
They forgot an EASY target. "Life of the author". So if you copyright some book, and then you cryogenically freeze yourself, you get the coypright for as long as you are alive, right? So then your children get to inherit that money for all time, while you're alive in stasis.
Damn im lucky that crusing around on slashdot is homework.
That's funny, because Slashdot probably drops my productivity at work by at least 10%...
