Senate licensing reform hearing reports and testimony

Frantic studying for the Bar is keeping me from actually reading any of this, but here are a couple of blog posts about today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Music Licensing Reform. The Committee page now has links to the prepared statements from the witnesses.

Cathy Kirkman, Silicon Valley Media Law Blog: Senate hearing continues debate on music licensing reform: "More testimony about reform of the Section 115 compulsory license was given today, this time before the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcomittee on Intellectual Property. Several parties opined that removing the impediments to licensing of online services is a necessary step to provide legitimate services to consumers and thereby reduce piracy, and that the Grokster decision provides a window of opportunity to move forward in this manner."
