| | Coalition Letter to Senate Leaders Opposing S.2395 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | When introduced, the stated objective of S. 2395 was to "target organized criminal counterfeiting enterprises" by extending existing anticounterfeiting laws to physical holograms placed on packaging or embedded in the face of CDs, DVDs, and computer programs. |
 | | In particular, S. 2395 could prevent universities, libraries, and consumers from enjoying the exceptions to the Copyright Act adopted by Congress. |
 | | For this reason, Congressman Lamar Smith, the sponsor of the companion bill to S. 2395 in the House of Representatives, determined that further consideration of this legislation should be deferred until the 108th Congress. |
