U.S. House Copyright Hearings
« on: May 16, 2013, 06:31:13 PM »
It seems while I was looking "across the pond" at the UK (http://www.extortionletterinfo.com/forum/getty-images-letter-forum/well-at-least-they-are-trying-something-in-the-uk/), a House subcomittee here in the USA also started hearings about copyright. See:
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/05/building-a-real-copyright-consensus-91231.html

Oddly enough it outlines a lot of the same thoughts I presented in the UK thread. I have to say that after reading the article on Politico, I have changed my position. It sounds like what is being presented here would shift the burden onto content creators and only benefit the tech industry.

But for all of us who wish to see changes to the practice of copyright trolling, it seems now would be a good time to bring this practice to the attention of Representative Bob Goodlatte of Virginia.
Although I may be a super-genius, I am not a lawyer. So take my scribblings for what they are worth and get a real lawyer for real legal advice. But if you want media and design advice, please visit Motion City at http://motioncity.com.
