I had the pleasure of capping off the first day of the Tech Policy Summit in Los Angeles on Wednesday by conducting a "fireside chat" with Rep. Howard Berman, the California Democrat who heads the House Judiciary's Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property Subcommittee. While the conversation lacked an actual hearth and blaze, I think we generated plenty of heat with the topics covered.
Berman answered questions about patent reform; so-called "orphan works" copyright legislation; efforts to enhance U.S. intellectual property enforcement; a legislative proposal to eliminate an exemption granted to AM and FM radio stations, which allows them to broadcast music without paying royalties; and a range of other issues that have kept him busy in the 110th Congress.
Since I was conducting the Q&A, I wasn't able to take notes on Berman's remarks. But, Andrew Feinberg at CapitolValley.net did a great job live-blogging the event. Here's his post.
