Eric Eldred _himself_ was just on Marketplace[1].
|
||
|
||
NYTimes: Debate to Intensify on Copyright Extension Law[2] (front page of the
|
||
business section, below the fold). " It will fall to Mr. Lessig, who is a
|
||
former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and who has become a kind
|
||
of rock star for the digital liberties set, to convince the justices to accept
|
||
the unconventional analysis. If they do, the decision could be a turning point
|
||
in redefining a balance between copyright consumers and producers — and the
|
||
technology companies that are often in the middle."
|
||
|
||
Newsweek: Glitterati vs. Geeks[3]. "Larry Lessig admits it: he’s nervous. Who
|
||
wouldn’t be? [...] In its narrowest context, Eldred v. Ashcroft deals with the
|
||
seemingly arcane issue of the length of copyrights for books, films and music.
|
||
But it’s actually a high-noon showdown between two great industries at odds in
|
||
the age of the Internet." 'There’s a sense of deja vu to this. Television was
|
||
supposed to be the death of movies. And in 1982, the film industry’s
|
||
silver-tongued lobbyist Jack Valenti testified that “the VCR is to the American
|
||
film producer and the American public as the Boston strangler is to the woman
|
||
home alone.” (Video sales are now the studios’ biggest moneymaker.) Naturally,
|
||
Hollywood regards the computer/Internet combo as scarier than “Nightmare on Elm
|
||
Street.”'
