Copyright Alliance Says Fair Use Not a Consumer Right

KingSkippus writes "In response to a complaint to the FCC filed by the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) to change copyright warnings before movies and sporting events, Executive Director Patrick Ross of the Copyright Alliance tells us in an editorial that 'fair use is not a consumer right.' The Copyright Alliance is backed by such heavy-hitters as the MPAA, RIAA, Disney, Business Software Alliance, and perhaps most interestingly, Microsoft, who is also backing the CCIA's complaint."

Unlike the baloney being spun by this character, I have, on my blog, a link to the actual FTC complaint, which accurately describes the law, here and a link to an excellent article by Maura Corbett on C/Net News, which is also much more accurate than the propaganda emanating from the know-nothings in the content cartel, here.
