As reported, we survived the government's motion to dismiss in Golan v. Ashcroft. Thanks to the excellent work of lawyers at Wheeler, Trigg & Kennedy, we've now convinced the court of the importance of discovery to demonstrate the actual harms caused by "restored" copyrights. Aaron has built a site to help us collect stories, some of which may become part of the suit. Please help spread the link: the beginning of an archive to the public domain.

In a speech to the World Economic Forum, according to the AP, "Attorney General John D. Ashcroft yesterday urged nations...to fight corruption, which is costing the world economy more than $2 trillion every year." "Follow our moral lead," Ashcroft said. "Surely in your own country you have a highly visible woman who is resented for her success. I urge you to go after her with the full power of the law. And God bless America."...

John Gilmore's battle to force the government to explain the basis upon which it demands that airlines verify an ID before permitting someone on a plane got a small victory last week. The government had asked to file its brief, defending a rule that is itself secret, in secret. The 9th Circuit said no.

Eldred v. Ashcroft: First Round

Eldred v. Ashcroft: First Round 10/10/2002 09:55 AM
The United States Supreme Court has heard arguments in the case of Eldred v. Ashcroft today. The case challenges retroactive copyright extension. Links to online coverage (note that regular members of the public are not allowed to take notes for some reason, so most of the summaries in blogs etc. are from memory): Lawmeme: good arguments by Lessig, but it will be hard to sway a majority Another summary at Lawmeme by "Brian" Text summary by Kwin Kramer Weblog summary of the hearing by Jay Tamboli Photos by Declan McCullagh UPI court coverage ("a majority of the justices appeared to be leaning towards the government's view") Slashdot story with the usual amount of noise, possibly useful for link hunting Eldred news from Google Commentators agree that the economic (extending copyright another time helps only a small elite) argument was much better received than the First Amendment argument (retroactive extension harms speech as once free works can no longer be distributed). That might mean that the justices will acknowledge that Congress has erred, but will not rule in Eldred's favor for lack of a constitutional argument that convinces them. The court's ruling is expected in a few months, transcripts should be available in 2-6 weeks. We'll keep you posted. (Note to editors: feel free to add any other links you find.) Update [2002-10-10 0:26:35 by look]: Here is some more coverage that I think you'll enjoy: Larry Lessig posted an inspiring entry on his weblog last night before the arguments: Keeping Focus. We need to remember that win or lose in the Supreme Court, the battle is far from over. We must fight on three fronts: government (laws), technology (p2p), and creating a viable alternative (Creative Commons, open source/free software, and the gift economy). Donna Wentworth at Copyfight is also keeping track of news stories and personal accounts of the hearing, including some sent to her directly and not logged elsewhere. See The Showdown Part II and The Showdown Part III. On a tangent, but related, Salon covers the Internet Bookmobile as it dispensed public domain books on its way to the Supreme Court hearing. We will be updating this list of coverage as it comes in. If you know of something worthwhile, please post it below.

Ashcroft selectively prosecuting
Greenpeace? 11/05/2003 12:09 PM
Greenpeace, has been charged with crimes by the Federal Government. Some Greenpeace members boarded a vessel that was carrying an illegal shipment of mahogany from the Brazilian rain forest to Miami. They hung a banner that read, "President Bush, Stop Illegal Logging." Is Ashcroft abusing his authority as attorney general? Would the current administration retaliate against someone that has publicly spoken out against them in the past? (No, this isn't a story on leaking the names of undercover CIA agents who happened to be married to administration critics.) Read on for details.

Kerry Worse Than Ashcroft on Civil
Liberties? 07/30/2004 05:33 PM
Reason Online has an article about, among other things, the debate in the 1990s over export restrictions on strong cryptography. Senator Ashcroft and Senator Kerry were on opposite sides of the issue: Kerry was in favor of the export controls and Ashcroft sided with the ACLU in favor of the individual's right to encrypt messages and export encryption software. Even more interesting is a Kerry camp press release that answers critics' attacks on his defense record by stating, "John Kerry stands by his vote for the Patriot Act. In fact, he authored most of the money laundering provisions in the law."

John Gilmore vs. Ashcroft begins today

John Gilmore vs. Ashcroft begins today 08/16/2004 02:15 PM
Bill sez: "On the 16th of August 2004, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals begins work on the Gilmore vs. Ashcroft case. At stake is nothing less than the right of Americans to travel freely in their own country -- and the exposure of 'secret law' for what it is: an abomination.

"The man who is fighting the good fight is named John Gilmore. John made his fortune as a programmer and entrepreneur in the software industry. Whereas most people in his position would have moved to a tropical island and lived a life of luxury, John chose to use his wealth to protect and defend the US Constitution.

"On the 4th of July 2002, John Gilmore, American citizen, decided to take a trip from one part of the United States of America to another. At the airport, he was told he had to produce his ID if he wanted to travel. He asked to see the law demanding he show his 'papers' and was told after a time that the law was secret and no, he wouldn't be allowed to read it.

"He hasn't flown in his own country since."

Another program which depends on showing ID is the Watch List and No-Fly List.  Airlines are issued these lists by the federal government and are required to request ID from their passengers in order to check them against the lists.  This has resulted in countless citizens with names similar to bad people being harrassed, arrested, or prevented from travelling by air—including every person named 'David Nelson'.

Gilmore v. Ashcroft "Papers Please" case
update

Gilmore v. Ashcroft "Papers Please" case
update 09/07/2004 11:47 PM
Xeni Jardin: Bill Scannell says,

Lawyers for John Gilmore filed their opposition to a Department of Justice attempt to file a secret brief in a case that involves secret law. The case, Gilmore vs. Ashcroft, is now before the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. DOJ filed a motion last Friday asking the Court's permission to file their arguments in secret, allowing only the judges to read their full brief.

DOJ is trying to distract the Court and the public from the real issue in the case, which is whether or not American citizens can travel in their own country without official government paperwork. Their method of distraction: secret law.

In a sharply-worded objection to the government's motion, Gilmore's lawyers stated that the government's "extreme cry for secrecy, preventing even plaintiff's counsel from being privy to their legal arguments because plaintiff's counsel does not meet defendants self defined 'covered persons who have a need to know' criteria, is disturbing and illustrates the dangers of secret law."

DOJ motion and Mr. Gilmore's opposition: Link. Previous BoingBoing posts on this story include: Reason Magazine on Gilmore v. Ashcroft; and Gilmore v. Ashcroft begins today
