    Fair Use Bill Introduced In Congress

    Ars Technica is skeptical. They provide background on prior versions of this bill and how those bills imploded when they hit the wall that is the recording industry.

    Even the press release from Broucher’s office says:

    “In an effort to address the concerns expressed by content owners, the FAIR USE Act does not contain provisions which would have established a fair use defense to the act of circumvention.

    The legislation instead contains specific exemptions to section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act which do not pose a comparable potential threat to their business models.”

    Not holding my breath.
