INDUCE Dead?

Art Brodsky of Public Knowledge writes: "We’re pretty sure that Induce is dead for now. It died last night after a five-hour negotiating session between RIAA, MPAA and BSA presided over, at first, by Chairman Hatch himself. About 8 p.m., there was no agreement on a bill, and they folded up the process for now. There are no new talks scheduled."

Ernest Miller: "For the record, according to an anonymous source, this draft version of the INDUCE Act from the copyright industries is the one that finally convinced consumer and technology groups that compromise wouldn't be reached: INDUCE Act - Copyright Owners' Tentative Proposal - 05 Oct 2004 [PDF]"
