"The
Unbearable Erosion of Common Goods: Copyright Extension and Eldred
v. Ashcroft"
Philosophy
in the Contemporary World
12:2 (Summer 2005), 62-67.
by Julie
C. Van Camp
ABSTRACT
I identify
issues of philosophical concern in Eldred
v. Ashcroft, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on copyright
extension, and
encourage the participation of philosophers in these public policy
debates. My recommendation for participation is
not merely in the sense that philosophers as individual scholars stand
to
benefit or lose economic and other rights in their own work. Rather, as
philosophers, we
have contributions to the dialogue not captured exclusively by the
technical
and often narrow legal debate in the courts.
