robotnik2004To me, yesterday's truce between the computer industry and the RIAA is more disturbing than today's Supreme Court decision against copyright reform. Mainly because the RIAA/computer industry truce seems expressly designed to avoid or preempt any government involvement: "We in industry must act now or risk letting the representatives of the people actually have a say!" While the Eldred decision, while certainly not the one I wanted to see (Free Mickey!), is at least an example of how the process is sorta kinda supposed to work.
OK, OK, so I'm jumping on the blogging about IP law bandwagon. All this ferment about communication technology and intellectual property is actually very reminiscent of the dissertation chapter I'm currently writing. Maybe I'll tell you about it when my ideas are a little better articulated.
