Analysis of US copyright law, suppressed within 24 hrs of publication
by forwardslash

    On Friday (Nov 16th), a republican study committee chaired by US Congressman Jim Jordan published "RSC Policy Brief: Three Myths about Copyright Law and Where to Start to Fix it." This was a remarkable and insightful statement of the issues and suggested some possible resolutions, all in just a little over 8 pages of text.

    Unfortunately, someone (we assume the copyright lobby) got to them within hours of the document appearing and the publication was pulled from the committee's website. Luckily, in the Internet age, copies were preserved elsewhere. As I write, there is a copy here.
