From: Winston Tabb <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2016 03:55:59 +0000 Is copyright about commerce, or the public good, or a balance between the two? Which agency is most likely to support the Constitutional imperative that copyright is intended "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries"? -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Esposito <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 21:51:21 -0400 It's good that the temperature on this debate is dropping, but I don't see the underlying issue being engaged: Isn't Pallante correct that the Copyright Office belongs elsewhere, preferably in the Department of Commerce? It sounds like Hayden is protecting her turf, as most people would want to do, but the substantive issue here is still not being addressed.
