Public Domain

Lawrence Lessig is asking people write their Representative and Senator and ask them to sponsor a bill to help counter the effects of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act.

Everyone who knows me knows how I feel about copyrights and the public domain, but this statue seems like a copout. I guess that it's better than nothing and will allow a lot of work to enter the public domain. I would also guess that it would be fairly easy to pass than revoking it all together.

Anyway take a look at his site and write you representatives either way. I try to send them something every week. I get a lot of form mail in response :-)
