aborchers's Journal: Letter to Senators/Representative post passage of S.3021

I was relieved to hear today that S.3021, the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2004, passed in place of HR.2391. Where HR.2391 read like a protectionist manifesto for the copyright cartel, S.3021 was an excellent example of how copyright law can be ammended to target legitimate offenders without eroding the fair use rights of consumers or wasting public resources on the torts of corporate content owners.

Though I remain concerned that the entertainment lobby continues to attempt to ram their draconian agenda into the law, it is refreshing to see that the Senate is willing to check them and ensure that the interest of citizens and the Constitutional principles of intellectual property law are preserved.
