Kahle v Ashcroft Appeal Filed

An anonymous reader writes "Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive has announced that the appeal of Kahle vs. Ashcroft has been filed. Here is the appeal. Kahle vs. Ashcroft concerns the constitutionality of changing from an opt-in copyright system (which existed for almost 200 years in the US) to the current opt-out system, where every doodle on a piece of paper is copyrighted for 95 years. Yes, they used the word doodle in their appeal. Previous stories here, here, and here."

Not only do we Americans have a "president" who is only in office because his brother Jeb Bush prevented 50,000 Democrats in Florida from voting (many of them blacks) in 2000 and then kept them off the voting rolls again in 2004 (enough to turn the election each time), but we have an Attorney General who is just about equally as antagonistic toward Freedom and Democracy running roughshot over basic laws that favor the average citizen and instead supports rethinking of these laws to favor Big Corporations.

Put simply, the neo-con Corporate Lackeys are now running the system and ruining the country.
