Plaintiffs in the upcoming Supreme Court case Eldred v. Ashcroft seek to overturn the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act, which “extended by 20 years both existing copyrights and future copyrights.” The most prominent example of the abuse of this act is when companies like Disney are allowed to profit indefinitely from characters like Snow White taken from public domain sources like the Brothers Grimm but are not compelled to eventually allow the resulting work to pass into the public domain. This applies to other works as well, such as literature by Hemingway and Hawthorne, that were due to pass into the public domain. To highlight the plight of artistic freedom and expression in the face of this lawsuit and the restrictive DMCA, the exhibit Illegal Art: Freedom of Expression in the Corporate Age will show in New York and Chicago and is also viewable online.
