The Cable Satellite Public Affairs Network, commonly known as C-SPAN, announced on Wednesday that it is liberalizing its copyright policy for "current, future and past coverage of any official events sponsored by Congress and any federal agency -- about half of all programming." The network will permit non-commercial copying, sharing and posting of C-SPAN video on the Internet, with attribution. C-SPAN also plans to expand its capitolhearings.org Web site to make it "a one-stop resource" for congressional webcasts. My editor Danny Glover has more thoughts on the issue at the Beltway Blogroll.
