Larry Lessig on the EFF Aimster Amicus
Larry Lessig on the EFF Aimster Amicus
June 01, 2003
In Professor Lessig's words ... "This is an important week. Monday, the FCC rules on its mediacon rules. Monday could also be the day the Supreme Court decides the Dastar case. But most important of all: Wednesday, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals hears the Aimster case."
[Emphasis mine]
"EFF has written an amicus in the case (have you contributed yet?). EFF’s core argument is that it is time that a Court of Appeals properly interpret the Sony Betamax case. Of all the Courts of Appeals in the US, this is the best one to hear this issue. (Bias-meter reading: high. I clerked at that court). Let’s hope it hears it well."

OK, it's me Aimee, now. I just want to say...
After all the scary times my family has had, going into bankruptcy, not knowing if we'll be able to keep our home - or even if my little sisters would have presents for the Holidays - we are not giving up, because we really believe in this principle, and how important it is for the future.
Thank you so much, EFF and Professor Lessig. I can't find the words to tell you how much this means to me.
