| "I want to
thank IEEE-USA for its thoughtful analysis and its political
courage in actually presenting the public with a written
proposal intended to address the problems of contributory
liability in the online world.
"I am sure that
you knew that anyone who dared to put pen to paper and tried
to resolve this problem was going to suffer from criticism."
— Sen.
Orrin Hatch, Chair, Senate Judiciary Committee, on 22 July,
thanking IEEE member Andrew C. Greenberg for his testimony
on behalf of the IEEE-USA Intellectual Property Committee on
the Inducing Infringement of Copyrights Act of 2004
(S.2560). |
