Jennifer.
Thanks for this. For many years I kept up with copyright issues and
actually republished Barbara Ringer's study, Unauthorized use of
recorded sound, when it went out of print. Then later, LC reprinted the
study, and there has been much since. I'm happy to see Tim Brooks article,
and yes I was happy to see ARSC take a serious role in this.
In fact, being the person who started meetings for ARSC in 1965 and
founding in 1966, I'm blown away by the great efforts and publications of
the current ARSC. Bravo.
Having served in the military, I'm not particularly fond of our
government right now.
