scored a big victory Wednesday as the Supreme Court upheld longer copyright protections for cartoon characters, songs, books and other creations worth billions of dollars , said the decision "seems like it's giving an open license to Congress to keep those works locked up perpetually Copyrights lasted only 14 years in 1790 "That is why this ruling is a victory not solely for rights holders, but also for consumers everywhere," he said Eric Eldred challenged the extension, which he said unfairly limits what he can make available on a public Internet library he runs The losers are everyone else," said Erik S " The case is Eldred v The decision was a blow to Internet publishers and others who wanted to make old books available online and use the likenesses of Mickey Mouse and other old creations without paying royalties Sonny Bono, R-Calif Works owned by corporations are now protected for 95 years H AOL Time Warner had said that would threaten copyrights for such movies as "Casablanca," "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone With the Wind " Eldred said from his home in Derry, N " A contrary ruling would have caused huge losses for entertainment giants like Disney and AOL Time Warner Inc " Also at risk of expiration was protection for the version of Mickey Mouse portrayed in Disney's earliest films, such as 1928's "Steamboat Willie "The serious public harm and the virtually nonexistent public benefit could not be more clear," Breyer wrote "We are not at liberty to second-guess congressional determinations and policy judgments of this order, however debatable or arguably unwise they may be," Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the majority "The winners are folks who hold valuable copyrights Jaffe, a Washington attorney who filed arguments in the case Stevens said the court was "failing to protect the public interest in free access to the products of inventive and artistic genius Ashcroft, 01-618 " The ruling will affect movie studios and heirs of authors and composers Companies like Disney breathed a collective sigh of relief with the 7-2 court ruling giving Congress permission to repeatedly extend copyright protection The limit on the use of information "threatens to interfere with efforts to preserve our nation's historical and cultural heritage" and to educate children, Breyer added " The Constitution allows Congress to give authors and inventors the exclusive right to their works for a "limited" time Congress passed the latest copyright extension after heavy lobbying from companies with lucrative copyrights With the challenged 1998 extension, the period is now 70 years after the death of the creator Supreme Court Upholds Extended Copyrights Jan 15, 8:25 PM EST Mickey Mouse and The Walt Disney Co Copyright holders stand to collect about $400 million more a year from older creations under the extension, he said "Everyone is going to pay more for things they would have had for cheap or free In two lengthy dissents, Justices John Paul Stevens and Stephen Breyer said the court was making a mistake Hundreds of thousands of books, movies and songs were close to being released into the public domain when Congress extended the copyright by 20 years in 1998 Justices said the copyright extension, named for the late Rep The extension "protects authors' original expression from unrestricted exploitation," Ginsburg wrote in rejecting Eldred's free-speech claims It will also affect small music publishers, orchestras and church choirs that must pay royalties to perform some pieces , was neither unconstitutional overreaching by Congress, nor a violation of free-speech rights Disney spokeswoman Michele Bergman said the ruling "ensures copyright owners the proper incentive to originate creative works for the public to enjoy Congress has repeatedly lengthened the terms of copyrights over the years "Protection of that order does not raise the free speech concerns present when government compels or burdens the communication of particular facts or ideas " But Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, said that copyrights encourage the creation and preservation of works Pepsi pulled the ad featuring the rapper Ludacris in August, a day after Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly ran a segment criticizing the company for using the rapper and criticizing some of his lyrics She said the boycott had been called off The agreement calls for Pepsi to make a multimillion-dollar donation over several years to the Ludicris Foundation, Simmons' Hip-Hop Summit Action Network said in a statement Neither Pepsi or the Hip-Hop Network would comment on the ad's status His 2001 album "Word of Mouf" includes the song "Move Bitch," one of his biggest hits There was no indication the ad would be placed back on the air Pepsi Averts Potential Hip-Hop Boycott Feb 11, 7:04 PM EST Pepsi agreed to make a donation to the foundation of a rapper whose ad the company yanked, averting a boycott threatened by hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons "We've come to an agreement where the common ground is young people," Pepsi spokesman Larry Jabbonsky said in a statement Ludacris is on the Def Jam label, which Simmons founded " He would not comment on specifics of the agreement The agreement was reached Monday night, and the amount of the donation and the length of time were still being worked out, spokeswoman Jody Miller said "We're working together on a multiyear, multi-city effort that will encourage kids to express their creativity in the visual and performing arts Last week, Simmons threatened a boycott of Pepsi and its subsidiaries to begin Wednesday unless the company ran the ad and donated $5 million to Ludacris' foundation |
