More from the Washington Post on the "Fair Use" bill:
Digital 'Fair Use' Bill Introduced In Congress By Frank Ahrens, Washington Post, February 27, 2007 http://blog.washingtonpost.com/posttech/2007/02/digital_fair_use_bill_introduc.html?nav=rss_blog "Today, Reps. Rich Boucher (D-Va.) and John Dolittle (R-Calif.) introduced what they call the "Freedom and Innovation Revitalizing U.S. Entrepreneurship" (or FAIR USE) Act they say will make it easier for digital media consumers to use the content they buy." I have to confess that I was struck by the clumsiness of the name of the bill -- until it dawned on me that "FAIR USE" is -- you guessed it -- its acronym. There are probably congressional staff who sit around making up these names, and that thought alone is depressing. Amalyah Keshet
