Rep. Lofgren Introduces Digital Fair Use Bill, 10/2/02.
October 2, 2002. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) introduced a bill titled the Digital Choice and Freedom Act of 2002. This bill would broadly expand the rights of persons who lawfully acquire digital copies of copyrighted works, while diminishing the rights of copyright holders.
The use of the word "title", as opposed to "section", is significant. The word "title" refers to "Title 17", which is the entire Copyright Act. The word "section" would refer only to the new § 123 that would be created by this bill. § 106 states the basic exclusive rights of copyright holders. Then, §§ 107-121 place limits these § 106 rights. There is § 107 pertaining to fair use, § 109 pertaining to sales, § 110(1) pertaining to educational institutions, § 111 pertaining to secondary transmissions, § 112 pertaining to emphemeral recordings, and so forth.
