Melancholy Elephants: a copyright parable

Spider Robinson’s “Melancholy Elephants,” a prescient sf story about copyright, is online for free. This is a hell of a story about the possibility that we will run out of works that are not in copyright, a kind of proto-parable about the demise of the commons brought on by the infinite extension of copyright.
