**Tasini: A Step in the Right Direction
http://www.llrx.com/features/tasini2.htm

Wendy Leibowitz argues that we are in the dawn of a new electronic
publishing age, and as a result of the recent Tasini ruling by the Supreme
Court, there will now be a remedy that will justly compensate freelancers
for their work.


**Tasini: A Victory for No One
http://www.llrx.com/features/tasini.htm

Richard Wiggins argues that the Tasini decision actually hurts past
freelancers, future freelancers, libraries, scholars, students, the public,
and publishers. Both Wiggins and Leibowitz are freelance writers.
