Copyright

You know I hate copyright laws, at least the ones in effect now. My biggest problem is how long they last.
Here is a quote from the US Constitution:

The Congress shall have power . . . to promote the progress of science and useful arts . . . by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive rights to their respective writings and discoveries. (emphasis mine)

Copyright terms are so long now that there is no way to promote anything in our lifetime. My point...here is a case, Eldred v. Ashcroft, that is fighting one of the extensions. I hope something happens soon.
