The DMCRA, proposed by Reps. Rick Boucher (D-VA) and John Doolittle
(R- CA) and co-sponsored by House Energy and Commerce Committee
Chairman Joe Barton (R-TX), would re-affirm consumer fair use rights
and balance the otherwise one-sided protection afforded copyright
owners under current interpretations of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act (DMCA).
