Monopoly by Copyright extended by US Supreme Court (via RW)
"When the Free Software Foundation, Intel, Phillis Schlafly, Milton Friedman, Ronald Coase, Kenneth Arrow, Brewster Kahle, and hundreds of creators and innovators all stand on one side saying, 'this makes no sense,' then it makes no sense. Let that be enough to move people to do something about it. Our courts will not."

The decision also once again suggests the US Supreme Court is in the pocket of corporate and elite interests. This should give pause to those in Australia who see fit to support the push to ensure "Capital C" conervatives are appointed to the High Court.
