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.
