Ron Wyden is my absolute hero. I thanked him by giving him a cylinder
when I met with he and his staff last week. He loved the cylinder and
carried it out with him. Without him, that cylinder I understand would
be under copyright until 2067. Thank you, Ron!
good pick!

ARSC recognizes Senator Wyden for his stand for the public’s interest in the passage of the recently enacted Music Modernization Act. The provisions that Sen. Wyden fought for will yield significant benefits by encouraging the preservation of historical American sound recordings, and making those recordings accessible to scholars, students and the general public, in some cases for the first time in more than one hundred years.

In a recording of his acceptance, Senator Wyden said, "As a son of a librarian, I grew up understanding the importance of access to public information and protecting archives."
