Protecting Mickey Mouse at Art's Expense

Date: January 18, 2003
Author: Prof. Lawrence Lessig Esq.
QUOTE: The Supreme Court decided this week that the Constitution grants Congress an essentially unreviewable discretion to set the lengths of copyright protections however long it wants, and even to extend them.

ABSTRACT: Prof. Lessig talks about the Supreme Court decision to uphold Congress' right to retroactively extend copyright protection (even if most of the Justices felt this was a poor and unfair decision). Lessig played a key role in arguing against the extension before the Court. --- D. Doernberg
