Public Knowledge Commends House Judiciary Committee Action on Copyright Bill
From Public Knowledge:
This morning, the House Judiciary Committee decided not to proceed with a markup of HR 6052, the Copyright Modernization Act. The bill would put in place a needed new system of licensing for digital music. At the same time, the bill would place new restrictions on innovative devices that allow consumers to record music for future listening by subjecting satellite radio services to extra fees for the creation of temporary computer files necessary for playback of music.
