Posted by Eugene Volokh: J.D. Salinger's Lawsuit Over the Sequel to *Catcher in the Rye*: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_07_05-2009_07_11.shtml#1247178213
I didn't see the [1]decision granting a preliminary injunction to Salinger until this week, so I thought I'd blog a link. A very interesting case, and I think the opinion helps show the problems caused by the current fair use framework (though I'm not sure I know of a better one), which requires judges to become literary critics.
