Copyright And Freedom Of Expression: Saving Free Speech From Advancing Legislation, Amanda Beshears Cook Apr 2013

Copyright And Freedom Of Expression: Saving Free Speech From Advancing Legislation, Amanda Beshears Cook

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

The Supreme Court has expressly recognized the possibility of a First Amendment defense to copyright infringement claims, but it has never actually found such a defense to apply to a case before it.
