LarsG's Journal: The Mouse and the Constitution

What do you know, Lessig finally had his day in front of the Ancient Ones.

Lessig's Post-argument blog.
Eugene Volokh thinks that the law will be struck down 6-3.

As Adina Levin says: "I hope that the decision in the spring comes out in favor of Eldred and the public domain. Either way (as I wrote on the comments page of Prof. Lessig's blog), this is just one battle in a long war, with battlefields in the courts and congress and the press and the public.

If the Justices understand the problem, and Lessig felt they did, that's one step forward. If technologists understand the problem, that's a step forward. If a few politicians start to understand the problem, that's another step forward. If the mainstream press starts to understand the problem, another step forward."
