It is a broad-based coalition of industry, educational, and NGOs operating. The Database Coalition mission statement [1] lists their primary goals as: "We support Federal legislation that will not harm legitimate research activities and small businesses, but will - " - prevent unfair competition in the form of parasitic copying; " - preserve the fair use of information; " - promote the progress of science, education and research; " - protect value-added publishers and their customers; and " - provide safeguards against monopolistic pricing." It seems to have been in operation for about three years. Hope this helps, Alberto [1] http://www.databasedata.org/Statement/statement.html _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
