As reported in a recent Federalist Society publication, “Hot News: The “Hot-News” Doctrine Is Hot Again! Or Is It?,”
David L. Applegate and Ryan Schermerhorn discuss the status of the “hot-news” doctrine, a narrow exemption that may allow newspapers, websites, and blogs to prevent someone else from reporting the facts depicted in a story and that may still exist in the Second Circuit.
Yet another weird “property right,” courtesy IP law.
The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.
We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
