The Free Expression Project has released its guide to the copyright wars, "The Progress of Science and the Useful Arts": Why Copyright Today Threatens Intellectual Freedom. The primary author is Marjorie Heins. From the executive summary: "But the tension between strong copyright control and free expression today cannot be ignored....We hope the report will provide a useful guide to the issues while underscoring the vital link between free expression and core elements of the copyright system, such as fair use and the public domain."

Removing the barriers to serious research.
