Copyright Shenanigans Not Over in Congress – Piracy Education Act Dangerous

Pete writes ” Corante.com has a nice, if frightening, summary of pending copyright changes,
“Public Knowledge reports on a bill that includes a number of different copyright provisions thrown together, HR 4077: the “Piracy Deterrence in Education” bill. It combine several different significant changes to copyright law that haven’t gotten nearly the attention they should, thanks to the INDUCE Act. Could it be that INDUCE was merely meant to be a distraction? [Stop being conspiratorial]. Oh, yeah, and it designates the Oak as the national tree:

The tree genus Quercus, commonly known as the oak tree, is the national tree.

Public Knowledge has put together talking points on the bill. Scary stuff considering the significant and little debated changes to copyright law this will create.””
