Subject: No ABA Endorsement of Term Extension
There was very good news yesterday with the announcement that the ABA's
Board of Governors declined to adopt the policy promoted strongly by
the
IP Law Section to support the constitutionality of the Copyright Term
Extension Act. Therefore, no amicus brief will be filed by the ABA in
support of the CTEA.
Many, many thanks to all of you who responded so quickly to Thursday's
urgent AALL alert on this important issue, for faxing letters to the ABA
and for forwarding the alert to your colleagues and to our chapter
listservs. This was a very successful effort and we are deeply grateful
for your help.
Sincerely,
Mary Alice Baish
AALL Washington Office
