Brewster Kahle came out on the losing end of a recent appeals-court decision in Kahle v. Gonzalez (The Chronicle, February 2), a case through which he had sought to bring "orphan works" into the public domain. But Mr. Kahle, director of the Internet Archive, says his fight to remake the copyright system is far from over.
In an interview with CNET News, Mr. Kahle argues that the copyright issues broached in Kahle v. Gonzalez should ultimately be weighed by the Supreme Court and Congress, not by an appeals court.

Or do we only want what corporations are currently peddling?" –Brock Read
