Copyright Restoration Arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court
No musicians played on the steps of the Supreme Court when inside the justices heard oral arguments in <i>Golan v. Holder</i>, which touched on a range of intellectual property issues and musical works from classical's Dmitri Shostakovich and Igor Stravinsky to classic rock's Jimi Hendrix. The impact of how the high court interprets Congress' 1994 amendments to the Copyright Act could affect the future use of possibly millions of pieces of works and may refine how U.S. law defines acceptable use versus infringing abuse in a global community.
