They represented a plaintiff, Eric Eldred, who had created an online library of then-public domain books, in a case before the Supreme Court. They lost, 7:2. However, this loss did not prevent Lessig and company from looking into other ways to make work available, expanding their focus from public domain books to all sorts of content.
