Walt Crawford has an essay on the recent Family Entertainment and Copyright Act in his latest Cites and Insights.
"By now, you’ve probably heard that the bill passed in mid-April. You may have heard that Public Knowledge and other pro-balance forces were not outraged by this bill.
Neither am I. I believe the provisions of this bill are all worthwhile (although one of them should not be necessary) and that its passage may relieve pressure to pass seriously defective copyright legislation. Maybe it’s my optimistic nature, but I see this as a case where a tweaking of copyright balance may stall serious unbalance. Some other people who I consider thoughtful and reasonable disagree."
