Rick Boucher and John Doolittle's FAIR USE Act would remove some of the entertainment industry's most draconian anti-innovation weapons and chip away at the <A href="http://www.eff.org/IP/DMCA">Digital Millennium Copyright Act's (DMCA)</A> broad restrictions on fair use.

The FAIR Use Act adds 12 exemptions, including the ability to circumvent for classic fair use purposes like news reporting, research, commentary, and criticism. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="https://secure.eff.org/site/Advocacy?JServSessionIdr001=qr7nupc4p1.app8a&cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=271">Take action to support it now.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="https://secure.eff.org/site/Advocacy?JServSessionIdr001=qr7nupc4p1.app8a&cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=271"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://action.eff.org/site/DocServer/boucher_hr_1201.pdf?docid=461">Read the text of the bill</A> </LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="https://secure.eff.org/site/Advocacy?JServSessionIdr001=qr7nupc4p1.app8a&cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=271">Complete the form</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1191A332-83BA-45E3-BA25-CE984948E3A3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
