The only thing worse than bickering is when Congress actually AGREES on something, and bad laws get passed. I can hardly wait to see what ELSE is brought forth over the next two years. |
Marv....since you dont want to discuss the bias of the Wash Times article anymore, perhaps you can explain why you think the PERFORM act is a bad bill.
Do you think consumers should have an unfettered "right" to
record (for use other than personal listening) copyrighted music played on cable, satellite radio or the internet?
The bill seems like a reasonable compromise to me. Whats wrong with requiring broadcasters to "use reasonably available and economically reasonable technology to prevent music theft?" Do you consider musicians who rely on the sale of their music for their livelihood a "special interest" group?
