approach of H.R. 3048.  Then contact your own legislator and urge them to> do the
same.>> We ask you to take JUST TWO MINUTES to contact the offices of the
Committee> members and your own representative and express your opposition to this>
legislation! Urge the Representatives to refrain from burdening the> development of
new technologies and ensure that privacy is protected in> the digital world.>> If
you are unsure who your legislators are or how to contact them, see> the EFF

Dear Rep. Lastname:>>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am writing to ask
you to oppose H.R. 2281, the WIPO Copyright>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Treaties Implementation Act.&nbsp; The Act would impose a variety of>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
civil and criminal penalties for the use, manufacture or sale of>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
technologies, including multi-purpose computers, home electronic>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
devices and software programs, that could be used to overcome>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
technological safeguards on copyrighted works.&nbsp; This bill would>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
impede encryption research that helps ensure secure networks, prevent>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
legitimate reverse engineering in the development of new software,>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
and effectively overrule the Supreme Court's decision in Sony Corp.>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984), which>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
permitted the home taping of television broadcasts.&nbsp; It also could>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
jeopardize education and research by allowing copyright owners to>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
lock up public domain materials, and by frustrating the fair use>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
rights of information consumers.>>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; H.R. 2281
goes much farther than is necessary under the WIPO>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
treaties.&nbsp; Instead, a more balanced and rational bill is H.R. 3048,>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
the Digital Era Copyright Enhancement Act, a measure providing>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
protection and legal remedies against the *act* of circumvention>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
itself when that circumvention is undertaken for an unlawful purpose.>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Please oppose H.R. 2281 and support H.R. 3048.&nbsp; Thank you.>>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
