@TerrenceHart: Does the ACCESS to Recordings Act violate the Constitution’s Takings Clause? — Artist Rights Watch | MUSIC • TECHNOLOGY • POLICY

“I do believe that the intellectual property that you create is just that.  It’s property and you ought to be protected in the property that you create and that we all enjoy.”

Senator John Cornyn, U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, May 15, 2018.
