DMCRA Reintroduced

ALA: "Congressmen Rick Boucher (D-VA), John Doolittle (R-CA) and Joe Barton (R-TX) re-introduced the fair use bill, H.R. 1201, the Digital Media Consumers Rights Act of 2005."

The Digital Media Consumers’ Rights Act attempts to restore the historical balance in copyright law post Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), to re-establish the Betamax standard and restores valid scientific research.

The text of the bill will be available soon at http://thomas.loc.gov.

Found this article on the DMCRA at the INDICARE website. Nice overview with some European perspectives.
