Suing the Joyce Estate to Make the World Safer for Academic Work

by David Olson, posted on June 13, 2006 - 6:36am

Today we filed suit against the Estate of James Joyce on behalf of Stanford English professor Carol Shloss. In a nutshell, we ask for a declaration that Professor Shloss is permitted under "fair use" to make use on her academic website of certain Joyce materials that are copyrighted. In addition, we argue that due to the Joyce Estate's history of misusing its copyrights, the Court should hold that the Estate is barred from enforcing its copyrights against Professor Shloss.

But read more of what we have to say about the case here. And see our complaint here.
