Clinic students assisted in updating and creating new content for the eldred.cc website.
Stanford Center for Internet and Society
In the heart of the Silicon Valley, legal doctrine is emerging that will determine the course of civil rights and technological innovation for decades to come. The Center for Internet and Society (CIS), housed at Stanford Law School and a part of the Law, Science and Technology Program, is at the apex of this evolving area of law.
Eldred Act
During the last Congress, Representative Lofgren introduced The Public Domain Enhancement Act, legislation that would allow all copyrighted works to enter the public domain 50 years after publication unless the owner paid a $1 renewal fee and registered the work in a copyright office database. Clinic students will learn first hand how lawyers help “a bill become a law” by working with the coalition of organizations promoting the legislation, manning the Act’s website and blog, and working with Congressional staff to prepare documents explaining the legislation to non-lawyers, including a FAQ, a section by section analysis, case stories on the bills potential effects, press releases and other related documents.
