Abstract/Description:

Determined to regain control of the public discourse on copyright, Pallante delivered what turned out to be a landmark speech, The Next Great Copyright Act, which encouraged Congress to think about copyright anew, rather than making ad hoc changes and adjustments from time to time. The speech worked, and Congress embarked on what became known as the “copyright review,” the most intense period of Congressional focus on copyright issues since the debates that led to the Copyright Act of 1976.
