CDT Calls for Consumer Dialogue on Digital Copyright Proposals - In an editorial appearing in the Legal Times, CDT Executive Director Jerry Berman called for more consumer input into proposed laws and regulations on digital copyright protection. Noting that "the debate now under way in the halls of Congress will define how Americans watch TV, listen to music, and use their computers for decades to come," Berman called for a "a broad national dialogue that includes the consumers who remain largely unaware" of the issues at stake and that has the goal of protecting both the rights of copyright holders and the reasonable expectations of consumers to use the new technology.
