The Tyranny of Copyright - Part V

Copyright Stalinists are out in force this week:

Scuttling Google's great plans to create a virtual library. (Hat-tip: How Appealing)

Harry Potter author fears that the U.S. Army is going to cut in to her profits with a competing publication.

More instances of people not being allowed to even photograph a sculpture in a public park. (Very similar to the efforts to prevent people from photographing the Eiffel Tower).

Bloggers also going copyright crazy. (Hat-tip: Legal XXX)

But hey, we can't have all of these instances of "theft" now can we?
