SCOTUS: Public Domain? ... NAAAAH.
 
#4
Geeze. Over a decade ago a columnist in -- ah, can't remember, either Infoworld or PC Magazine (if the latter, it might have been Dvorak) -- wrote a satire piece about changes in copyright law allowing companies to "adopt" orphan IP in order to give it a "proper custodian", and highlighting the reassignment of Shakespeare's plays to a media firm that could properly "care for" them -- by licensing them for every low-class moneymaking scheme it could. The column was supposed to be over-the-top satire. Looks like it's now tomorrow's news.
