...latest claim, "then they must play by international rules." COPYRIGHT The Walls Have Ears A recent U.S. law extended Mickey Mouse's copyright for 20 years, but residents of Malta, Austria, now say they've housed him in their church for centuries. Restoration work uncovered a 700-year-old fresco that tourism officials hope will make the town a Mickey Mecca - and perhaps threaten Disney's copyright. Stanford professor Lawrence Lessig notes that a long-standing legal hypothetical asks: "What if two people independently wrote the same play?" The answer, he says: "Both get a copyright. Seems fact is stranger...
...promised market reforms. The latest troubles come as talk is growing that the Agnelli family is set to walk away from the car business altogether.

...that's capitalism, Third World-style. If films weren't overtly political, they were insistently social. Some of the strongest works examined the working-class, the out-of-work, the criminally forlorn. The Brazilian City of God, directed by Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund, is a ferocious fresco of Rio slum kids who grow up to be vicious gangsters, if they don't die first.
