8/1/2007 Digital Freedom Campaign Supports CCIA Complaint Filed With FTC on Behalf of Consumers Everywhere

WASHINGTON –The following statement may be attributed to Maura Corbett, spokesperson for the Digital Freedom Campaign, in response to today’s Federal Trade Commission complaint filed by the Computer and Communications Industry Association:

Warnings attached to movies, sports broadcasts and other media often provide wildly misleading information about consumer rights under copyright law. For example, warnings on many Universal DVDs state, in part, that “any unauthorized exhibition, distribution, or copying of this film or any part thereof (including soundtrack) is an infringement of the relevant copyright and will subject the infringer to severe civil and criminal penalties”. This statement is simply untrue -- the federal copyright statutes specifically allow unauthorized reproduction for criticism, commentary, and other purposes.

Even as we urge consumers to respect the law - and we should - large copyright owners have the same obligation. They must be honest with their customers and not misrepresent their legal rights. The Federal Trade Commission should ensure that consumers get accurate information, and we applaud CCIA for bringing this issue to their attention.
