Preference Personnelle

I'm kinda looking for links about Eldred v. Ashcroft. Here are the opinions--majority by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and dissenting ones from Stevens and Breyer. Here are the ALA and ARL pages on the topic. As for news articles, here are some from /. and google news, something anyway. It's really not getting a lot of coverage, though. It's a shame. I did learn, however, that a hockey player named Eldred retired recently. Anyway, here's Eldred v. Ashcroft news and perspectives from Billboard, the Washington Post (here, here and interview here), the NYT (here, here, here and here), Wired News, the San Jose Mercury News, the WSJ, the Chronicle of Higher Education, Reason magazine (here and here), the LA Times, corante.com, Lawrence Lessig's blog, First Amendment lawyer Jack Balkin's blog, Siva Vaidhyanathan in Salon, the Freedom Forum, a release from the Software & Information Industry Association, one from , TheStreet.com, The Inquirer (not, alas, The Enquirer, which doesn't seem to be covering this story) and the State Department. Hmm. Maybe that is kind of a lot of links. I'm very much in the middle of reading all this stuff myself, but my tentative recommendations include the Vaidhyanathan article, as I always enjoy his work, and Lessig's blog and Breyer's dissent, both of which come recommended from others. Ooh, and that Bill Moyers show (transcript) airs tonight, though not where I live. People who live near me may be interested to know that the local PBS network airs NOW at 3 and 11 p.m. on Sundays.

And, not-quite-related articles: Wired News on libraries and the Patriot Act, and Jenny Toomey in The Nation on artists' rights.
