Joyce estate copyright dispute

["Joseph J. Esposito" <espositoj@gmail.com>]

A curious story on a scholar who is sueing the Joyce estate for 
access to private papers.  Here's the first paragraph:

"A Stanford University professor on Monday sued James Joyce's 
estate for refusing to give her permission to use copyrighted 
material about the "Ulysses" author and his daughter on her Web 
site."

I read this on Yahoo:

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2621&ncid=2621&e=1&u=/ap/20060613/ap_on_en_ot/james_joyce_lawsuit_1

But the story is from the Associated Press and is no doubt 
available everywhere (byline:  Lisa Leff).

I suspect that not all the facts have come out in the article, as 
some of the comments seem bizarre and unsupported (at least to 
me).
