9.29.2004  Status of the Induce Act  TechDaily (subscription required) this afternoon has a Delphic report on S. 2560. It notes that Rick Finkelstein, President of Universal Pictures, flew in to lobby the Judiciary Committee for stronger copyright protection, but adds that Universal "refrained from endorsing the bill in its current form because of last minute changes." The report goes on to note that lobbying this week has been "intense," but that despite this, or perhaps because of it, Thursday's mark-up session may not attract enough attendees to approve the bill. In other words, the Senators, caught in a furious cross-fire among content, tech, telecom, and other industries are heading for the hills. posted by James DeLong : 9/29/2004 05:20:58 PM   IPcentral WebLog Blog Main Recent Posts   Of Gooses and Ganders More Induction Pharma Innovation WSJ Articles on Music Downloading The Future History of P2P Moore's Law Marches On More Riffs on Posner Tech Environmental Quality Index (TEQI) Posner, Eldred, and Fair Use The Mysterious Origins of the Induce Act Archives by Month   December 2003 January 2004 February 2004 March 2004 April 2004 May 2004 June 2004 July 2004 August 2004 September 2004 October 2004 November 2004 December 2004 Links   PFF Blog
