Induce Act dies!
Hey, guess what, the Induce Act, which I discussed in an earlier article didn’t get taken up by the Senate. =D Article from Reuters here.
Copyright Bill Dies in Senate as Others Advance By Andy Sullivan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A bill that would make it easier to sue online file-trading networks like Kazaa appeared on Friday to have died a quiet death, but other copyright bills sought by the entertainment industry continued to advance.
The Senate Judiciary Committee declined late on Thursday to take up a bill that would hold liable anyone who “induces” others to reproduce copyrighted material, a move observers said all but assures it would not become law this year.
The bill, known as the Induce Act, is designed to target online file-trading networks, which courts have so far shielded from entertainment industry lawsuits on the grounds they do not commit copyright infringement but merely make it possible.
Yay! Hopefully any further attempt to revive such a bill will drop as well.
I am also including an animated gif of Carue from One Piece, since Kaizoku-Fansubs releases episode 112 (subbed) tonight.
