Shifting grounds and shifting public support are causing even some strong copyright proponents to reconsider their position, according to this article covering the proceedings of a copyright conference at the University of California at Berkeley. Recent rulings, such as an injunction against a company that recycles toner cartridges, have undercut support for the law.

More coverage of the conference by Dan Gillmor is available here and at MindJack is available here.CRLF
