Rep. Boucher Outlines 'Fair Use' Fight, moving to strengthen "fair use" provisions under federal copyright law, US Congressman Boucher said he is introducing a bill that would essentially restrict the record industry from selling copy-protected CDs. Very good review of his proposal and its differences from current law! Also on the subject check Janis Ian, famous songwriter and artist, on free music downloads, the music industry and the evils of the RIAA in this article. Also see Courtney Love's speech at Salon on basically the same.
