The Recording Industry Association of America said on Monday that current U.S. copyright law is so broken that it « isn’t working » for content creators any longer.
In response to a question from CNET, Sherman said it may be necessary for the U.S. Congress to enact a new law formalizing agreements with intermediaries such as broadband providers, Web hosts, payment processors, and search engines.
Lance Kavanaugh, product counsel for YouTube, disagreed that copyright law is broken. « It’s our view that the DMCA is functioning exactly the way Congress intended it to, » he said.
