EnFORCE Act Goes to Floor
The EnFORCE Act, S. 1933 has left the Senate Judiciary Committee to be debated on the Senate floor. The act helps musicians in three ways:
-
Music industry antitrust exemptions are expanded to new forms of distribution, such as DVD, for purposes of negotiating royalty rates.
-
Courts would be allowed to consider parts of a compilation separately for purposes of computing copyright violation damages.
-
Department of Justice would receive an additional $5 million for intellectual property enforcement, including specific training for agents and at least one full-time agent for each unit investigating intellectual property crimes.
