Excerpt:



"As a result of the testimony, six congresspeople on the Copyright Subcommittee have joined the artists who are calling for the repeal of last year's amendment, including Democrats John Conyers (Michigan) and Howard Berman (California), and California Republican Mary Bono, the widow of Sonny Bono. Besides Henley and Crow, other major performers who support the change back include Billy Joel and Prince."
