PERFORM Act, S. 2644 Restricts Consumer Media Fair Use!

Seems Congress has some more legislation in the pipeline that is going to effect your fair use rights. The recording home coalition says:

PERFORM Act, S. 2644 would prevent satellite radio subscribers from recording and listening to programming that they have paid for – you could not choose the artists and playback order for anything you have recorded for your own, personal use! This bill, sponsored by Senators Feinstein (D-CA), Graham (R-SC) and Majority Leader Frist (R-TN), might be introduced in the House as well. It is yet another attempt by the music industry to deny consumers access to new technologies and content, and to eliminate the right to private, noncommercial home recording that citizens have enjoyed for decades.

This nonsense has to end now and the only way it will end is if you stand up on your chair beat the drum of outrage, and call your Senator tell her or him what you think. Fax your strong opinion and make sure your voice is heard. If you do not exercise your rights as Citizens of this great country then don’t be surprised with what you end up with! [TAKE ACTION TODAY]
