Summary of U.S. Congressional Hearing on Fair Use

Cathy Kirkman at the Silicon Valley Media Law Blog has posted an excellent summary of the hearing on November 16,2005 by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce concerning "Fair Use: Its Effect on Consumers and Industry." She notes in her introduction that "Predictably, the witnesses represented opposite ends of the spectrum in their viewpoints on the appropriate scope and public policy justifcations for fair use under the copyright law."
