House Holds Hearing on CD labeling, DMCA Reform - The House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection held an all-day hearing May 12th on a copyright reform bill proposed by Representative Rick Boucher. The bill would require labeling of CDs that include DRM copy-protection technology. It would also allow manufacturers to sell devices capable of circumventing copy-protection measures for otherwise legal "fair use." Currently, distribution or sale of such devices is illegal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. May 13, 2004
