Don't know how this slipped under our radar, but one of my esteemed Senators, Amy Klobuchar, has introduced a bill amending Copyright Act by making public performance of [infringed] media a criminal offense, in addition to the current civil penalties. There are provisions within the amendment that would especially apply to electronic contexts. The intent of my post is not to stoke flames on the UCLA thread, but rather implications for further erosion of fair use/rights holders protections, depending on perspective.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
