Siva Vaidhyanathan, author of Copywrongs and The Anarchist in the Library, has an essay in the current Columbia Journalism Review (CJR), titled Copyright Jungle.
You should read it. I don’t think things are quite as bleak as he portrays (I personally think that Fair Use will be affirmed in a significant legal decision, and help to partially offset the lengthening of copyright protection) but he does present a fantastic overview of where we stand in the copyright wars.
