We believe that a vibrant public domain is essential to preserving and building upon our cultural heritage. The recent enactment of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act has restricted access to thousands of works that helped define the twentieth century and that had been slated to at last enter the public domain. Copyright's Commons is a collective voice in support of the effort in Eldred v. Reno to overturn the copyright extension statute. The case is essentially a fight to enforce the Constitutional mandate for a "limited" period of copyright protection—a balance, rather than an indefinitely extended government monopoly on speech—consistent with the overall promotion of the public good. In keeping with the spirit of the public domain, the case will be litigated in an "openlaw" format. As the legal arguments are developed, they will be posted on the web for public comment and suggestions. You can join this collaborative project by registering on the openlaw site and then contributing any thoughts, editing suggestions, or research sources. Copyright's Commons also endorses the counter-copyright [cc] campaign as an alternative to the exclusivity of copyright. The counter-copyright campaign invites others to use and build upon an author's work. You can show your support for the public domain by marking your work with a [cc] and a link to the Copyright's Commons websit (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/commons/). Copyright's Commons maintains this website as a forum for (public domain, of course) discussions. We welcome all comments. http://www.opencode.org [there's more to find..] << --- # distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: majordomo@desk.nl and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: nettime-owner@desk.nl
