Free Speech on The Internet Still Under Attack

Anne Broache writes in C|Net News:

Web site owners and remix artists alike are finding free-expression rights squelched because of ambiguities in copyright law, a recent study says.

The report [.pdf], released Monday by a pair of free-expression advocates at New York University Law School's Brennan Center for Justice, argues that so-called "fair use" rights are under attack. It suggests six major steps for change, including reducing penalties for infringement and making a greater number of pro-bono lawyers available to defend alleged fair users.
