Dems on the Supreme Court

Dems on the Supreme Court 01/11/2004 07:56 AM
So an underplayed aspect of this campaign has been how the Democratic candidates would differently select the Supreme Court. On NPR's debate , Senator Lieberman pointed to Justice Souter as a model. Congressman Kucinich plugged Justice Ginsburg. I've gotten a couple pings asking what the right answer is. Hard question for me. Of course neither Ginsburg nor Souter were on the correct side (or the right side) of Eldred, but I certainly think Justice Souter is a model justice -- serious, hard working, unburdened by ideology, prepared. I never quite get the principle that guides Justice Ginsburg's choice between activism and not, or principle and not, so I'm waiting to see the genius in that selection by President Clinton. Justice Breyer of course wrote a brilliant dissent in Eldred -- brilliant, though not effective. He was proud of the decision's embrace of economics as the standard by which the Sonny Bono Act was judged. But while I'm a fan of the result, I've been too deeply affected (scarred?) by the originalism/textaulism/fidelity theories of Scalia to be enamored of that method. In my view, perhaps the best sitting justice is a Republican appointee -- Stevens. And if candidates are looking for what makes the best the best, then it is certainly his judges' judge-like character. There's no simple line that predicts Justice Stevens' result -- certainly not a political line. And if there is any quality this Court needs, it is that -- following a line that does not seem a political line. The most impressive judges not sitting on the Supreme Court are also, um, Republicans. (What party am I again?) Judge Kozin ski is a great judge -- too young when appointed, but someone who has matured brilliantly in the job. And while his views about how to the interpret the constitution make me cringe, history will record the greatest judge of our time as Judge Posner. But I doubt that this is the time that a President from either party will pick greatness as the reason to select a Justice.

“On March 29, the entertainment and technology industries will descend upon Washington, D.C. to argue their respective sides before the Supreme Court in the landmark case of MGM v Grokster. At stake: the future of peer-to-peer technology, consumer electronics, software design, and consumer rights in the United States. In April 2003, a federal judge ruled that Streamcast Networks — the developer and distributor of the Morpheus file-sharing software, and Grokster — the developer and distributor…

Australian Supreme Court Looks At
Copyright Law

Australian Supreme Court Looks At
Copyright Law 09/14/2004 12:29 PM
The Supreme Court in Australia is now taking a look at their version of the DMCA to see if people have the right to modify hardware they've bought or to make backup copies of digital media they purchased. In the old, pre-digital world, when you bought a product, it was yours to do whatever you wanted with it. However, thanks to recent law changes, any product that involves a digital component seems much closer to a rental agreement, where the company that "sold" you the product retains some sort of rights. For obvious reasons, many people think this is unfair. In this particular case, Sony went after a mod-chip trader, claiming that the mod-chips he offered for the Playstation violated copyright law by letting users play copied games, thereby violating anti-circumvention rules in Australian law. It really becomes a question of whether or not certain companies have the right to have their business models protected by regulations, rather than forcing them to keep up with the changing marketplace.

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Over on Lessig's blog, Tim Wu has enumerated 10 reasons that the Supreme Court is likely to hear the Grokster case:

1. These is a stated legal conflict on the Sony standard as between the 7th and 9th Circuits;
2. The 7th and 9th Circuits disagree (albeit in partially in dicta) on the relevance of willful blindness to secondary liability;
4. The Court has these matters in hand: it has granted cert. in many similar cases historically (Sony, 1980s, White-Smith (the Piano Roll case) 1909, Teleprompter and Fortnightly (Cable / Broadcast, 1960s & 1970s);
5. The Court has a vague sense that some far-out stuff is going on in the field of “Computer Law” that maybe it should check out;
6. Law clerks use KaZaA & BitTorrent to plan basketball games;
7. Stevens and Breyer deeply dig this stuff;
8. Scalia likes anything having to do with property;
9. Souter got his first computer last week.

And most importantly,

10. The Court loves to be the center of attention, and this would make it so.

Papers Please: right not to show ID goes
to Supreme Court 02/17/2004 11:47 AM
A Nevada cowboy is fighting for his right not to produce ID on law-enforcement demand, and he's going all the way to the Supreme Court.

Meet Dudley Hiibel. He's a 59 year old cowboy who owns a small ranch outside of Winnemucca, Nevada. He lives a simple life, but he's his own man. You probably never would have heard of Dudley Hiibel if it weren't for his belief in the U.S. Constitution.

One balmy May evening back in 2000, Dudley was standing around minding his own business when all of a sudden, a policeman pulled-up and demanded that Dudley produce his ID. Dudley, having done nothing wrong, declined. He was arrested and charged with "failure to cooperate" for refusing to show ID on demand. And it's all on video.

On the 22nd of March 2004, the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether Dudley and the rest of us live in a free society, or in a country where we must show "the papers" whenever a cop demands them.
