More re the Constitution and Fair Use
Not everyone agrees with Ed Stroligo regarding the lack of Constitutional underpinnings of the fair use doctrine. The defense is arguing a Constitutional (First Amendment) basis for fair use in the ElcomSoft/Sklyarov case currently pending before Judge Whyte in the Northern District of California. (See also Ernie the Attorney's discussion of the case and overarching digital rights issues.)
-Later: Still pending for decision before Judge Whyte is the defense's Motion to Dismiss based on its argument that the DMCA violates the First Amendment. [llrx]
