FCC wants Congress to make it easy for American TV to live online

Here’s a couple of genuinely tasty morsels from the FCC’s new broadband plan: Rec. 15.7: Congress should considered amending the Copyright Act to provide for copyright exemptions to public broadcasting organizations for online broadcasting organizations for online broadcast and distribution of public media; Rec. 15.9: Congress should consider amending the Copyright Act to enable public and broadcast media to more easily contribute their archival content to a digital national archive and grant reasonable noncommercial downstream usage rights for this content to the American people. (Thanks, James!)
