STATE AND INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE
Endorsing the
Digital Millennium Consumer’s Rights Act
(DMCRA)
On October 16, the following letter was distributed on
Capitol Hill in support of revisions to the DMCRA. The Boucher-Doolittle bill
has been endorsed by the Digital Future Coalition (DFC) and a number of
constituent DFC organizations
Dear
Representative:
We are strongly in
support of the passage of HR 5544, the Digital Media Consumers' Rights Act,
recently introduced on a bi-partisan basis by Rick Boucher (D-VA) and John
Doolittle (R-CA). We are writing to urge the co-sponsorship of this
measure by all Members of the House. HR 5544 will assure a proper balance
in copyright law between the rights of copyright users and the rights of
copyright owners.
Thank you.
