Salon.com Technology | After the copyright smackdown: What next?
Topic: Intellectual Property 1:32 pm EST, Jan 17, 2003

] The Eldred decision, in the words of University of Buffalo
] law professor Shubha Gosh, "deconstitutionalizes" copyright,
] pushing it father into the realm of policy and power battles
] and away from the principles that have anchored the system
] for two centuries.

More fallout from Eldred. This call has been raised several times in the last few months. The Constitution does not protect us here. The only way we can win is in the voting booth.

However, I cynically beleive that the voting booth will only come into play after this decision has cost us a lot more then the public domain... It will come into play only after the significance of our culture has been overshadowed by those who operate outside of this system.
