More reactions to Helprin on Perpetual Copyright
We have posted a lot about Helprin's Perpetual Copyright article in the last week, but I can't resist referencing two other provocative posts. One is a twenty-five year old short story on copyright and intellectual property link here. The other is entitled In Search of Lost Copyright: Disney & Proust link here. Hat-tips are due to Matt Yglesias link here and Ross Douthat link here.

If you search this site under "Philosophy of IP", you will see a past post I did concerning copyright themes in science fiction which also features the Melencholy Elephants short stroy. Great stuff.
