"IPAction.org is reporting on a section of the Reform Act of 2006 that's very shocking and surprisingly not that publicized. From the article: 'This will be a busy week in the House -- Congress goes into summer recess Friday, but not before considering the Section 115 Reform Act of 2006 (SIRA). Never heard of SIRA? That's the way Big Copyright and their lackey's want it, and it's bad news for you. Simply put, SIRA fundamentally redefines copyright and fair use in the digital world. It would require all incidental copies of music to be licensed separately from the originating copy. Even copies of songs that are cached in your computer's memory or buffered over a network would need yet another license.'"

*sigh* I really wish more artists would go the creative commons route. That would surely be the best death for the DCMA and all the other fud legislations coming to the fore.
 
I hope for the sake of the average US resident this doesnt get passed. Course if it does it might actually piss off enough people to cause some real change. I predict mass boycotting.
