This is a very interesting development from Lawerence Lessig. His views on copyright, computers and culture are very interesting to me --relevant too, if a bit heady at times.

The gist of it is that content creators can get their copyrights transfered back to them from the studio, label, or other enterprise, after 35 years have passed. Until this tool, the process is complex.

This could have ramifications on copyright, particularly works for hire, here in the US.
