Re: more on supremes ruling
Although this initially seems like a victory for writers, it will
eventually drastically alter the way all of us get free information
from the internet.
I find it quite interesting that a list serving *writers* seems more focused on "free" information than compensation for intellectual property.
As I believe I have already mentioned -- the major media firms cited already charge "pay for archive" - LexusNexus being one of the oldest, Pre-Web, digital services -- so to say that this is going to have an affect on "free" information is an argument lost on me.
From talking to other writers, most current contracts already include use of material in electronic format, a provision that was probably added as soon as the initial case was filed.
