A new organization called the Copyright Alliance has opened for business in Washington. Its members include AFTRA, ASCAP and the MPAA, as well as a number of media corporations. Its stated goals are “promoting the cultural and economic benefits of copyright, providing information and resources on the contributions of copyright, and upholding the contributions of copyright to the fiscal health of this nation and for the good of creators, owners and consumers around the world.”
