Wired News: A Kinder, Gentler Copyright Bill?
Wired News: A Kinder, Gentler Copyright Bill?: "The Senate passed a scaled-back version of a controversial copyright bill Saturday, keeping a provision that imposes severe penalties on people caught with camcorders in movie theaters but scrapping other provisions that copyright-reform activists had criticized.
On Saturday, the Senate met and passed the Family Entertainment and Copyright Act of 2004, or SB3021 (.pdf), a revised version of the Intellectual Property Protection Act (HR2391), which had cobbled together a handful of copyright-related bills. Now the bill heads to the House of Representatives for consideration in early December.
Digital rights groups said while there is still cause for concern in the bill, it is a vast improvement over the previous version."
