I’m not even sure what this kind of thing means anymore. I just want TV back on so more of the people I dislike will stay in at night at leave the coffee shops and pubs empty for me.
A federal appeals court on Thursday set aside a settlement between freelance writers and a group of publishers, including New York Times Co and Thomson Corp, in a copyright case involving work posted online or in databases.
The decision reopens an issue that was settled in 2005 after years of negotiations over claims by freelance writers that their contracts did not allow for publication of their work electronically.

What it means is that the only people who are going to get any money out of electronic copyright cases are lawyers.

The ERDC been since the first e-rights grab in 1997. Ten years of back and forth, trying to get a class action authorized. Our date, finally, is next February. David Homel is our class representative. If you want to learn more, here’s the website [see link above] It talks about a six year fight, but that’s only because we haven’t moved very much since then. If you want to be on our mailing list, let me know.
