IPac created to lobby for sensible intellectual property policy (NewsForge)

[Posted October 18, 2004 by ris]

NewsForge covers the political action committee, IPac. "Over the past few years, intellectual property policy in the U.S. has shifted dramatically in favor of business at the expense of the public interest. Software patents, automatic copyright extensions that can last as long as Congress wants them to last, and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act have all become policy with very little opposition from either Democrats or Republicans. A new political action committee, IPac, hopes to change that by giving a voice to the public interest."
