Savebetamax.org National Call-in Day

Posted by timothy on from the they-want-to-save-the-boston-strangler dept.

Rinisari writes "Savebetamax.org, a project of Downhill Battle, has set up a national call-in day for September 14th. They ask that on that day, each person signed up call a specific congressperson about the INDUCE act in an effort to keep a steady stream of calls all day. The "Save Betamax" nomenclature comes from the fact that the INDUCE act could reverse the decision in the 1984 Sony v. Universal case regarding Sony's Betamax VTRs and copying of copyrighted movies."

    My Sony BetaMax still works great the last time I used it, about a year or two ago. I even have some blank Beta tapes left. I still watch some origional Star Trek tapes from their origional TV broadcast.
