C-SPAN Reduces Copyright Restrictions (for benefit of bloggers)
Confessions of a Mad Librarian notes that C-SPAN has reduced its own restrictions on copyright. The new policy reduces restrictions on its coverage of federal activities, so bloggers and other sites can use the material "to increase the political dialogue".
Blogs are starting to change the information and copyright landscapes for future users. I think Web 2.0 will have lasting ramifications on copyright.

I totally agree. The blogosphere is even changing the way we lawyers do business with clients. It's changing everything about copyright law. But it's also changing other areas of law, such as intellectual property, product liability law, etc. And don't get me started on the internet! I really think that, since the advent of cyberspace, I've seen and more contested divorces in my neck of Florida.
