A Double Chance for DMCA Reform (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal looks at two
DMCA reform bills to be considered by the US Congress. "Again this
Congress, we'll have two similar DMCA reform bills. Why two? Representative
Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) is planning to reintroduce the Digital Choice and
Freedom Act of 2002, a bill that would reform the controversial
anticircumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
(DMCA). The bill would allow users to bypass copy restriction systems for
fair use purposes, much like the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act,
cosponsored by Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA), John Doolittle (R-CA), Spencer
Bachus (R-AL) and Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), proposes."
