    Don't forget that the US Supreme Court is deciding whether the new
    copyright laws are violating the rights the public domain in Eldred
    v. Ashcroft. . .in a surprise decision to hear the case.

    In the 89 years from 1909 to 1998, US copyright was extended from an
    average of just over 15 years to just over 95 years, thus allowing
    only about a single decade of copyrights to expire, which may be
    legally too close to unlimited copyright, when the US Consitution
    only allows "for limited times."

    * That copyright law was truly intended to
    be balanced "to promote the progress of science
    and useful arts, by securing for limited times to
    authors and inventors the exclusive right to
    their respective writings and discoveries" (U.S.
    Constitution, Article I, Section 8).

    Thanks!

    So nice to hear from you!

    Dear colleagues

    I am preparing a seminar about copyright on literature. However, I have
    troubles finding appropriate articles. Does anyone know a case when such
    rights were violated? Please, help me. I will be grateful for any
    information you can provide. Petra Areh
