The full-text of the decision should be online soon.

>From the article, "The court ruled 7-2 that compilation in an electronic
database is different from other kinds of archival or library storage of
material that once appeared in print. That means that copyright laws require
big media companies such as The New York Times to get free-lancers'
permission before posting their work online."

>From the article, "The high court, by a 7-2 vote, upheld a ruling that the
publishers must pay free-lance writers, photographers and artists extra for
work included in online and CD-ROM databases or must remove the material."
