yo no comprendo

ABA Section of Intellectual Property Law will argue for copyright term extension in Eldred case:

But one error is particularly glaring.  The people who are looking for a "field day" aren't trying to cut back IP rights; rather, in the Eldred case, they oppose extending the rights.  But he is preaching to his own choir, and I suppose that distinction will be lost....
[Ernie the Attorney]

For a group of individuals who consistently needs to quote other works, to cite other works in specific depth, and whose entire field depends upon precedent, one would think that they would be able to recognize that the current term is not limited, that it harms Progress, that intellectual property is an oxymoron, a legal fiction.

It boggles the mind.
