Well, there's been a brief hiatus on the Policy Blog, and that's because we've actually been pretty busy at PK. Here's a quick rundown of what we've been up to:
Testifying on the Broadcast Flag: Gigi's first hearing in November was on the broadcast flag, HD-radio protection, and closing the analog hole. Read more about the hearing here, our press release here, and Gigi's testimony here.
Telecom Rewrite process: I've told you about our Open Broadband white paper previously. We've been working with others to voice concern about issues like net neutrality in the rewrite of the '96 Telecommunications Act. There was a House Telecommunications Subcommittee hearing on Nov. 9, and this is what we had to say about the hearing and the latest staff draft.
DOJ Copyright Proposals: Seemingly out of the blue, the Department of Justice released its recommendations on how copyright law could be "improved" to aid their enforcement efforts. While PK believes in strong copyright enforcement, we disagree with the suggested changes by the DOJ. Here's what we had to say about it.
Testifying on Fair Use: Gigi's second hearing of November was on the fair use doctrine of copyright law. The hearing was held in the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection, of the Energy and Commerce Committee. Gigi's oral and written testimony are on our website, and you can view the webcast from the subcommittee's website.
Follow-up Letter: As a follow-up to the fair use hearing, Chairman Stearns asked us to provide him with list of examples of consumer uses that are prohibited by the DMCA. We sent him that letter on Nov. 21, providing examples from Gigi's testimony and some important others.
Whew, quite a month! Rest assured, new posts are coming!
