Shortening Copyright After Eldred Loss

SataiCam writes "Marci Hamilton has an article over at Findlaw.com covering potential options for getting a shorter copyright after the Eldred loss (or, more likely, keep this one from growing again). Clearly such a movement is an uphill battle, Hamilton does nothing to argue against that, but the options are there. It's an interesting read with some good points and a tone of "if you want it, go out and fight for it." I don't necessarily agree with all she says, but that's not surprising, she is using an AOL e-mail address, after all."

extensions and constitution

[dacarr]

Considering it is the US Constitution that establishes copyright limitations, perhaps our best (or only) bet in establishing the upper ceiling for copyright limit ceiling is a constitutional amendment. Nothing can really override that except for another amendment, if I remember my high school government (and middle school US History) classes correctly.
