Stanford law professor Lawrence Lessig recently argued the case of Eldred v. Ashcroft before the Supreme Court. This is the “Free the mouse” case — the argument against letting Congress continue to extend the term of copyright each time (to cite one example) Mickey Mouse is on the verge of entering the public domain.
The case has been covered widely and deeply, but I found Lessig’s notes on his blog, posted after the oral arguments, fascinating and well worth reading for anyone interested, not only in the substance of the case, but in the process of Supreme Court jurisprudence.
