The Supreme Court on Monday declined to consider whether a 1992 Beastie Boys song infringed on the copyright of a jazz flutist's recording. Also, the Court turned away several appeals from broadcast and newspaper groups that sought to restore new government rules easing restrictions on media ownership. In addition, the Court refused to be drawn into a dispute over President Bush's power to detain American terror suspects and deny them traditional legal rights.
