Publishers Are Still Pushing Already Discredited Theories
 By Emily M. Bass

 Besides hyperbole and name calling, a recent
 rebuttal commentary by Bruce Keller and Michael
 Potenza suffers from numerous defects, says
 Emily M. Bass, who represented two of the
 plaintiffs in New York Times Co. v. Tasini
 (Keller and Potenza represented the defendant
 publishers). Bass points to the electronic
 databases at issue in the case, which she says
 are not "archives."

Free-Lance Authors Have the Right to Get Paid for the Electronic
Fruits of Their Labor
 By Jonathan Tasini

 In a recent column, attorneys Bruce Keller and
 Michael Potenza portrayed their representation
 of the publishers in Tasini as a heroic act in
 the public interest. As lead plaintiff,
 Jonathan Tasini would like to thank them for
 their concern. But, he says, if the high court
 upholds the plaintiffs' argument, the only
 consequence will be that publishers have to
 stop breaking the law and start paying
 free-lancers.
