INDUCE Act (IICA) Continues to Threaten
Posted by Ernest Miller
Concentrate on some other things for a few days and you fall hopelessly behind. I'm also feeling very frustrated that a handful of Senators are still trying to push through the innovation-crippling, free speech-threatening INDUCE Act on behalf of an industry with disproportionate lobbying efforts and profile. It is very sad, especially when I consider the pernicious effect it will have on our political culture for many years to come (the subject of another post). Anyway, simply to catch up, here are some more links:

One final point. Copyfight pointed to an email sent by the group behind the Grammy's encouraging artists to support the INDUCE Act (
Induce Boosters Send Email to Grammy Members). If artists think that it is in their interest to significantly increase the power of the publishers as against all others, they are sadly mistaken. When copyright law becomes even further unbalanced, it becomes a burden on artists just as much, if not more than, consumers.
