Hi all,

Breaking news from the world of copyright: U.S. Register of Copyright Maria Pallante has addressed Congress, claiming that "The law is showing the strain of its age."

Her short address is here: http://1.usa.gov/XkTsIF (PDF).

You can read her longer speech, 'The Next Great Copyright Act,' here, via the Open Knowledge Foundation: http://blog.okfn.org/2013/03/20/open-and-the-next-great-copyright-act/

Tim Vollmer from Creative Commons HQ has summarised the issue on the Creative Commons blog: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/37576

Cheers,

Matt
