I don’t get it...Now you can get a copyright for work that you or some controlling party hadn’t applied for in the past??? Then the clock resets for copyright protection??? This was to conform to international copyright protection laws???

And this from a court that is going to hear O’bummer healthcare arguments that Congress so happily passed. Don’t get your hopes up, so to speak.

From the article... "...Justice Ginsburg also rejected challenges to the law based on the First Amendment, saying that free speech interests are adequately protected by the fair use doctrine and the principle that only expression and not ideas are eligible for copyright protection..."
