#scotus skroowed the pooch on this case. They missed a golden opportunity to rule that the Berne Copyright Convention is incompatible with the US Constitition, and that, as directed by the #constitution , #copyright in the US is currently unconstitutional and should expire after 28 years.

#Copyright was intended to last for a limited time, not to provide a continuing income stream for creators, and certainly not for the #heirs and #estates.

As Pia Hunter writes in a new post for #FairUseWeek, the lawsuit against our library “is not about the expanded access IA provided during the pandemic. It is a challenge to how we can use materials in a digital age & how fair use supports our right to do so.” https://blogs.harvard.edu/copyrightosc/2023/02/21/fair-use-week-2023-10th-anniversary-day-two-with-guest-expert-prof-pia-hunter/
