Section 115 Reform Act (SIRA)
Here we go again — tomorrow there will be a hearing on a new effort to reform section 115. Patry’s blog has the scoop. Will offer comments of my own after reading the bill.
Update, June 6, 2006: This draft bill of SIRA would do serious damage to fair use – take action now to stop this dangerous proposal!

So this would establish a Sound Exchange sort of entity to regulate digital downloads?
How would this apply to podcasters? Would this compulsory license offer podcasters a chance to pay a blanket fee and gain the right to play copyrighted music?
