Stanford Center for Internet and Society on Kahle v. Ashcroft: a case where two archives ask the U.S. district court for the Northern District of California to find that a law that extended copyright terms unconditionally -- the Berne Convention Implementation Act (BCIA) -- is unconstitutional under the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment, and that the BCIA and Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) together create an "effectively perpetual" term with respect to works first published after January 1, 1964 and before January 1, 1978, in violation of the Constitution's Progress Clause.

ABERDEEN AT THE SMITHSONIAN
The University of Aberdeen's Research Institute of Irish and Scottish Studies
will feature in the Smithsonian Associates' "Great Schools" Program in Washington DC on March 20. Scholars from the Institute will explore the remarkable story of Ireland's cross-cultural relations with Scotland in an all-day seminar timed to cap the St Patrick's Day
celebrations in the United States.
The invitation to appear as part of this Smithsonian programme is an honour for Aberdeen as previous universities invited to take part have mainly been Ivy League institutions. Oxford is the only other European university to have presented an all-day seminar in recent years.
To mark the visit to the Smithsonian, the Ambassador of Ireland, His Excellency Noel Fahey, will host a reception for Aberdeen at his official residence on March 19.
Further information, including details of a special post-seminar reception at the Smithsonian, sponsored by The Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky, is available on this website:

Windows users beware! The Register: Latest Bagle worms spread on auto-pilot.
The really scary part: Unlike most email viruses, the four new Bagle worms do not carry email attachments, making them much more difficult to spot. If a user opens the message - and their machine has not been patched against a five-month old critical vulnerability - malicious code is automatically downloaded from the PC which sent the "carrier" email.
