# Copyright Reform? You're silly.

Amazingly, the Republican Study Committee (RSC) had [released a report
suggesting copyright reform][0]. Of course, that's a silly thing to do when
you're in bed with organizations like the MPAA and RIAA; [the report was quickly
retracted][1].

It would have been a surprising step forward; maybe there's hope yet, assuming
the GOP can get a handle on itself.
