  7. The limits of copyright law

    Supap Kirtsaeng was a Thai student in the United States who helped finance his education (and then some) by reselling textbooks that family members bought for a low price in Thailand. Textbook publisher John Wiley &amp; Sons sued Kirtsaeng for copyright infringement in 2008, citing a federal <a href="http://lat.ms/16HAkeU">ban on importing</a> copyrighted goods without the copyright holder's permission. Lower courts agreed with Wiley, opining that the <a href="http://lat.ms/XNBmBJ">"first sale" doctrine</a> &mdash; a buyer's right to sell, lend, rent or give away a lawfully purchased copy of a copyrighted work &mdash; did not apply to foreign-made products even if they'd been manufactured under contract with the copyright holder.

  10. The court sides with secrecy

    When Congress and the executive branch collude to keep Americans in the dark about whether their privacy is being invaded, the Supreme Court should be willing to lift the veil of secrecy &mdash; at least to the extent of forcing the government to explain how often it is monitoring the confidential conversations of Americans. The court abdicated that important watchdog role Tuesday when it ruled 5 to 4 that a group of journalists, lawyers and activists couldn't challenge the constitutionality of a shadowy electronic surveillance program. It's only the latest example of the court's refusal to afford victims (or potential victims) of post-9/11 policies their day in court.
