Congress to take on spam, copyright (News.com)
News.com looks at the 2003 legislative agenda in the U.S.
"On Tuesday, Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., and three other legislators reintroduced their bill from last year that would defang the DMCA. Their proposal, called the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act, would let Americans bypass copyright-protection schemes for legitimate 'fair use' purposes."

Boucher for President Posted Jan 8, 2003 15:02 UTC (Wed) by rknop (guest, #66) [Link] Well, Boucher *is* part of the Deomcratic party, which is one of the two annointed parties that has a hope of winning.As such, were he to get the party's nomination, he would be a viable candidate. -Rob
Boucher for President Posted Jan 8, 2003 15:04 UTC (Wed) by csigler (subscriber, #1224) [Link] > Is Boucher realistic (would he get more than 1% (or more than Nader?)Boucher is my representative (and a very good one; I cross party lines to vote for him each time). Unfortunately, he doesn't have any national recognition. Realistically, I don't believe he has any presidential aspirations whatsoever. In a country where there are 10 people running for president 21+ months before the election, I think this is a good thing. He seems to me to be a man who wants to do his job and do it well, and he can do it best where he is right now. FWIW. Clemmitt Sigler
