On Monday November 9, Santa Clara Law will host the House Judiciary
Committee's Copyright Review Listening Tour about the future of U.S. copyright law.
As Chairman Goodlatte and Ranking Member Conyers stated: "Two years ago, the House Judiciary Committee launched a
comprehensive review of our nation’s copyright laws, which have not been
updated since 1976. As technology continues to rapidly advance, we have a
responsibility to ensure that our laws are keeping pace with these
developments.
The Committee is traveling to locations across America to hear
directly from creators and innovators about the challenges they face in their
creative fields and what changes are needed to ensure U.S. copyright law
reflects the digital age in which we live. We look forward to continuing the
productive dialog that we had in Nashville, the first stop of the Committee’s
listening tour."
