Senators seek to close copyright gaps

Senators seek to close copyright gaps : "A bipartisan coalition of senators this week reintroduced legislation that would make it a federal crime to camcord a movie and indemnifies from liability the makers of a video player that edits movies for 'objectionable' content. The legislation was dropped into the Senate hopper late Tuesday by such lawmakers as Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, John Cornyn, R-Texas, Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. 'The Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2005 will give parents more say over what their children see,' Hatch said. 'It also closes some significant gaps in our copyright laws that are feeding some of the piracy so rampant on the Internet.'"
