Citizen enemy combatants have a right to
judicial review 06/29/2004 11:44 PM
In a decision which will come as a massive relief to civil libertarians, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled today that United States citizens detained as enemy combatants have the right to challenge their classification in court, and sent the case of Hamdi v. Rumsfeld back to the district court with instructions to hear Hamdi's case and determine whether or not he was properly classified as an enemy combatant. As a necessary condition for that ruling, the Court also ruled that the administration could detain US citizens who were captured in a combat zone (and who were supporting an opposing army within that zone) until the conclusion of the conflict. (A related case, involving a US citizen apprehended at an airport and held as an enemy combatant, was dismissed on the procedural ground that the case had been brought in the wrong district court; the petitioner, Jose Pedilla, will probably file a new case in the correct court shortly).

US Supreme Court upholds long copyright
terms 03/13/2003 10:16 AM

The United States Supreme Court ruled in favor of retaining the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act ( CTEA ). The CTEA extended the lifetime of copyrights to 95 years past the moment of publication. According to the majority opinion in the 7-2 ruling, Congress acted within Constitutional bounds five years ago, when it added to preexisting terms for copyright ownership. Dissents from Justices Breyer and Stevens argued that the law's practical effects were deleterious to public culture.

The decision represents the end of one battle in the copyright struggles. It stands as a victory for several intellectual property (IP) holders' groups, such as the RIAA and MPAA , perhaps signalling an era of effectively perpetual copyright . It's a defeat for litigants and supporters like Web publisher of public domain works Tim Eldred , and Stanford cyberlaw professor Lawrence Lessig .


For students and educators, the fallout is complex, although the decision changes no law. As consumers of intellectual property, we must continue to be vigilant about seeking permission for IP that has not yet fallen into the public domain. As IP producers, we continue to retain ownership for nearly a century.

Thom Gunn

Thom Gunn 04/28/2004 02:29 PM
One of the finest poets in English, Thom Gunn, has died. Along with Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, Gunn became famous as a young poet in England in the 1950s as part of "The Movement," writing f ine poems in rhyme and meter. But then he fell in love with an American soldier, Mike Kitay, and followed him to San Francisco, where he crafted one of the most daringly original voices in the 20th century, handling taboo subjects like LSD, orgiastic sex, and his 50-year relationship with Kitay with the precision of a diamond cutter. Gunn lived in my neighborhood, and was a dapper, subtle, sexy and hilariously witty man until the end. Ten years ago, when I asked him what music he was listening to he replied, "Oh, Nirvana and Social Distortion. I'm a flighty teenager that way."

I was surprised to learn that a small Guantanamo-style detention center run by the Wackenhut corporation is in place mere blocks from my home. Somewhere around 200 detainees are housed in a non-descript warehouse somewhere in Springfield Gardens, Queens. I find it disturbing and distressing, especially now that they've gone on hunger strike, which is the only reason that I've learned that they are there.

Abdurahman Khadr, who the CIA placed, as a mole, within the detainee population, said most of the detainees were innocent, or were merely local Taliban militia-men, with no intelligence value. Well, after no public review of their status, the Guantanamo detainees are finally getting their day in court -- kind of. There are actually three separate kinds of reviews slowly underway.
