hondo77 writes "In a 7-2 decision, The Supreme Court gave Disney what they wanted. Story just broke, no details yet." They're talking about the Eldred case, recently argued before the Supreme Court and mentioned on Slashdot many times. The upshot is that no works produced in the United States after the 1920's will ever go out of copyright. Opinions: Majority opinion, Stevens' dissent, Breyer's dissent.

    If we tossed out coropate personhood, they'd be run just like unincorporated business are--as a partnership among their stockholders

    Don't be an idiot. How many people, do you think, will buy stock if it means all their personal assets can be taken for the company's debts? That's what getting rid of corporations means.
