Boucher Still At It

Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., approached the record industry's trade association in January with concerns that blocking consumers from copying their own CDs might violate U.S. copyright law. The response from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) didn't satisfy him, he said.
"The RIAA's response...does little to relieve my concern that consumer fair-use protections are being threatened by what we now see is the intended widespread introduction into the U.S. of copy-protected CDs," Boucher said in a statement Wednesday.
