A House panel will take a closer look at copyright Tuesday, focusing on broadcast protections. The House Intellectual Property Subcommittee will hold a hearing titled “The Scope of Copyright Protection” Tuesday at 10 a.m. in 2141 Rayburn. It “will focus on the general issues of what is subject to copyright protection and what rights should be included in copyright protection,” a House Judiciary Committee aide said. “The hearing will also look at the specific new topics of whether and to what extent there should be copyright protection for broadcasts and laws, codes and standards.” Some of these questions have been at the heart of the ongoing Aereo case. No witnesses were disclosed.
