[Peace-discuss] passing the hat for Tasini

[C. G. Estabrook]

Very much worthwhile, given the outrageous positions Clinton continues 
to take. And, unlike Lamont, he's seriously anti-war.

(He was also a successful plaintiff in an important case against the 
NYT. "New York Times Co. v. Tasini is a leading decision by the United 
States Supreme Court on the issue of copyright in the contents of a 
newspaper database. The lawsuit brought by members of the National 
Writers Union against The New York Times Company, Newsday Inc., Time 
Inc., LexisNexis, and University Microfilms Inc. The freelance writers 
charged copyright violation due to the use and reuse in electronic media 
of articles initially licensed to be published in print form. In a 
decisive 7-2 ruling the Court affirmed the copyright privileges of 
freelance writers whose works were originally published in periodicals 
and then provided by the publishers to electronic databases without 
explicit permission of, or compensation to, the writers.")
