>2. House Commerce Committee Postpones Consideration of The Digital
>Copyright Bill -- Although the House Commerce Committee had scheduled for
>June 23 consideration of H.R. 2281, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
>of 1998, the Committee decided at the last minute to pull that bill from
>day's agenda. On June 17 when the House Commerce Committee's Subcommittee
>on Telecommunications, Trade and Consumer Protection marked-up this bill,
>Representatives Scott Klug (R-WI) and Rick Boucher (D-VA) introduced an
>amendment that would clarify that the copyright provision of "fair use"
>applied to the digital world. After listening to a number of conflicting
>views on this amendment, Subcommittee Chairman Billy Tauzin (R-LA) asked
>the Chair of the Commerce Committee, Representative Tom Bliley (R-VA), to
>work with the content providers and the users on a compromise amendment
>that would deal with concerns about "fair use." These negotiations,
>however, did not produce a substitute amendment that was acceptable to
>both the user and the creator communities. The Commerce Committee has
>received an extension on the time for their consideration of this bill,
>and they anticipate taking it up soon after Congress returns on July 14
>from the July 4 recess.
