摘要

CPP participants testified, including the UC-Berkeley Law and Information Managementnprofessor that convened the project, Pamela Samuelson. Members said the subcommittee should examinenthe stakeholder discussions that led to the report, rather than focus solely on the policy suggestionsnin the report. Full committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. — who said last month thatnJudiciary would hold hearings to reevaluate copyright law in light of changing technologies (CDnApril 25 p9) — said he hopes to hear “from everyone interested in copyright law ... before we beginnto look at more specific issues.”
