01/23/2004 02:21 PMIn 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."...

Eldred v. Ashcroft: First Round
Eldred v. Ashcroft: First Round
10/10/2002 09:55 AMThe 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.

Is Ashcroft abusing his authority as attorney general? Would the
current administration retaliate against someone that has publicly

leaking the names of undercover CIA agents who happened to be married
to administration critics.) Read on for details.
