I’m sure this will be linked everywhere, but I found it really interesting. Lawrence Lessig has an insightful Post Game Analysis of his argument to the US Supreme Court in the Eldred case. For those not following this, Eldred is arguing that when congress recently extended the copyright term, they exceeded their authority and that if they can continue to extend copyright, particularly retroactively for works that have already been created, then there is effectively no limit on copyright, and the public will never get the benefit (payment) for the monopoly that it granted the creators of the works.
