Anonymous Coward writes "Larry Lessig and his friends at the Stanford 
Law School Center for Internet and Society today filed a new 
constitutional challenge to the copyright laws. The focus of the new 
lawsuit (styled Kahle v. Ashcroft) is the consequences of the removal 
of "formalities" like registration, notice and renewal from 
copyright, and the resulting creation of a large class of "orphan" 
works (i.e., works that are not commercially viable, but nonetheless 
remain under copyright and are therefore not easily available for 
others to archive, preserve, and build on). Take a look at 
http://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/about/cases/kahle_v_a shcroft.shtml for 
a copy of the complaint, press release, and FAQ."
