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