Over the course of the past two days, I've helped Lawrence Lessig create a new site for the Eldred vs. Ashcroft Supreme Court case. This case is a major milestone in what will hopefully be a shift away from limitless control of copyright by publishers and back to copyright's intended purpose: to protect artists and creators for reasonable periods of time.

Check out the site for the case, and if you believe that copyright has gone too far, please spread the word about this case.
