Appeals court says writer can bring copyright case against AOL

Pete writes “According to SiliconValley.com,

a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday partially reversed a lower court ruling that dismissed Harlan Ellison’s copyright infringement case against AOL.

In his April 2000 lawsuit, Ellison alleged the Internet service provider violated his copyrights by allowing unauthorized copies of his work to remain on its Web servers for two weeks even after he tried to notify them of the problem.”
