"The ruling is ridiculously depressing. The Justices basically just
keep repeating the mantra they first set forth in Eldred, that as long
as Congress says it's okay -- and that the "fair use" and the
"idea/expression" dichotomy remain -- all is just dandy. They also
claim that since the very first copyright law took works from the
public domain and gave them copyright protection, clearly there's
nothing wrong with removing works from the public domain. This
decision reinforces why the Eldred decision was a complete disaster,
and just keeps getting worse."
