INDUCE Act commentary by Ross Housewright, ALA intern

American Library Association Washington Office, Office for Information Technology Policy (what a mouthful!) intern Ross Housewright offers an entertaining and frightening personal commentary on the INDUCE hearing held July 22d by the Senate Judiciary Committee. It's now renamed IICA, but I bet everyone will still call it the INDUCE Act. I'm thinking that was a real blunder of a name, instilling fear [rightfully so, by the way] in anyone who may induce copyright infringement by others ... like libraries ...

Ed Felton links to the testimony and video of the hearing in his July 23 posting.

Thanks for the link :) Hopefully that'll direct some traffic to my new blog!

Looking forwards to seeing what happens when Hatch gets back from vacation... see if he actually means it that he wants to work to deal with concerns, or just was trying to sound rational...
