Boing Boing is in mourning today, and for good reason; the Supreme Court ruled today that it would allow Congress to keep rolling back the copyright expirations, so new texts may never enter the public domain. Traditionally, authors had a limited time when they could profit from their work. Thanks to lobbying by the entertainment industry, Congress keeps extending this period, so work that dates to the beginning of the film sound era is still protected.
