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.”'
