There are policies in government that say if the taxpayers paid for research, then the taxpayers get to see the research they paid for with no additional charges. This bill will kill that.

Democrats supposedly for the people? Nope, beholden to the copyright cartel as usual.

While Robert Wexler (D-FL) claims he is from Florida he has never lived here. He lives in New York and only uses the home of relatives in Palm Beach County as his address here in Florida.

He is a anti-American of the first class and should have been thrown out of the House as he is direct violation of the Constitution which says one must live in the area that they are elected from.

If the taxpayers paid for the research, then the resulting report is work for hire, and the taxpayers own the copyright. The copyright office says "If a work is a work made for hire, the employer or other person for whom the work was prepared is the initial owner of the copyright unless there has been a written agreement to the contrary signed by both parties."

If this crap passes, would this stand in the way of a FOIA request regarding research and findings?

In other words, this vile Snivil Serpent wants to add yet more “special rights” to a privileged nobility who own intellectual “property”, while denying such rights to the taxpayers who paid the bills to produce it!
