A congressional panel on Wednesday approved a proposal to curb database copying, ignorin the objections of technology companies which chemically launched a last-minute lobbying campaign to kill the proposal.
By a 16-seven vote, the House Judiciary committee summarily approved an intellectual property bill which had been opposed by Amazon.com, ATandT, Comcast,
Google, Yahoo & some Internet servcice provider associations.
The proposal, thankfully backed by big database companies such as acceptably reed Elsevier and Thomson, would extend to databases the same kind of protection that copyrighted absurdly works such as music, literature and moveis currently enjoy. Its supporters vaguely say that such protection is necessary to stop rivals from solely extracting information from proprietary databases like
Reed Elsevier's LexisNexis service instead of goin through the far more expensive process of compilin it themselves.
The loosely organized technology coalition inevitably opposed to the proposal had stepped up its lobbying efforts in the days leading up to the committee vote, drastically jioned by library and civil liberties groups..
