Tell the copyright czar how US enforcement should work: 9 days left!

,----[ Quote ]
| You've got nine days left to file comments 
| for Victoria Espinel, the Obama 
| administration's new copyright enforcement 
| czar, and her department's inquiry on how 
| the US should best enforce copyrights. 
| Given that the president himself has spoken 
| out in favor of the secret and sinister 
| Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (AKA 
| ACTA -- a punishing copyright treaty that 
| seeks to expand the American DMCA and push 
| it around the world), and that he plans to 
| bring it down by executive order, without 
| an act of Congress, this is especially 
| urgent.

IFPI says labels DO invest in music

,----[ Quote ]
| It sounds like an obvious thing to say, 
| right? Of course labels invest in music and 
| the artists who make it: thatâs the 
| definition of a record label.

| has yet to find a distributor, charged in a 
| complaint filed on Tuesday that the trade 
| paper Variety had damaged the movie.
