Senate approves copyright update with cable sports clause
The Senate passed a 70 to 14 copyright reform bill, keeping a provision allowing cable systems to carry distant sports programs while deleting a royalty payment requirement to performers. The measure aims to modernize law since 1908 and moves to the House. Separate measures extend expiring copyrights and preserve record protection authority. Capitol security upgrades include a planned $2 million CCTV system with alarms and X-ray screening.
