DotcomScoop writes: "We were provided with a copy of the letter sent by Congressman Rick Boucher to RIAA head Hilary Rosen and IFPI head Jay Berman questioning the legality of copy-protecting CDs. 'I am particularly concerned that some of these technologies may prevent or inhibit consumer home recording using recorders and media covered by the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 (AHRA),' Boucher writes. We've summarized the letter in a story and CNET also has coverage. Monday is the kick-off of the two-day Future Of Music Policy Summit, which includes keynotes or panels from Boucher, Rosen, Napster CEO Konrad Hilbers, Nirvana's Krist Novoselic, Fugazi's Ian MacKaye and the National Writer Union's Jonathan Tasini, among others." We already posted a story about the Boucher letter, but it can't hurt to mention it again.

Keynotes at a Music Summit - how harmonious.
Shouldn't it be overture instead of kick-off though?

The two-day Policy Conference included keynote speeches from Senator Orrin Hatch and Michael Robertson, CEO of MP3.com, as well as over 70 panelists including Leonardo Chiariglione (SDMI), Edward Felten (Princeton University), Hilary Rosen (RIAA), Chuck D. (Public Enemy), Marybeth Peters (Director, US Copyright Office), Jim Griffin (founder of Pho and Cherry Lane Digital), and John Perry Barlow (Founder, Electronic Frontier Foundation).
These people always make silly mistakes. See what I mean? Remove Chuck D. and you'll see how it SUPPOSED to read.
Hilary Rosen (RIAA)(Public Enemy)
