    It's not that the Supreme Court doesn't understand or sympathize, it's that they don't believe the Constitution vests them with the right to overrule Congress on this point. There's no point of law or precedent that says the People's duly-appointed representatives in the Legislature are in the wrong when it comes to the current state of copyright law. Basically, the Supremes handed the ball back to Congress. They didn't declare game-over or anything.

    This is one of the very first maps of the Internet. Hand-drawn. Apparently scanned from:
    Hafner K, Lyon M (1998). Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet New York, NY, Touchstone.

    I have it posted in my bulletin board right above a promotional postcard for the beautiful Peacock stuff.

    You can see Stanford, SRI, UCLA, Rand, Harvard, etc. Can we name them all?
