The entertainment industry has sneaked language into an
obscure copyright bill that could smash Internet fair use.
The law implies that licenses from copyright holders are
needed for every digital copy made in the transmission of
digital media -- including cached copies on servers or on
your hard drive, and even temporary copies in RAM.
When we originally reported on this
bill in June, your phone
calls helped beat it back. But now the bill is back and
headed for a key vote in the House Judiciary committee.
Don't let the music industry turn your cache into their cash
-- take action now:
