Congress Adjourns, Digital Copyright Fight Remains
from the nothing-doing-yet dept
Not really surprising, but Congress has adjourned without passing any of the variety of bills dealing with copyrights and digital information. They're still hoping that the tech industry and Hollywood can work out their own differences, and leave legislation out of it - but that seems unlikely. Of course, having the government come up with good policy decisions on this topic seems unlikely as well, so there's not much good news to report, except that we have a little more time before things get worse.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
