       Brewster goes to Washington (congressional hearing on the Copyright Office Modernization Committee)"The key thing I would suggest is the role the Library of Congress plays of preservation and access.I mean, fundamentally, it's the Library for Congress, and they're building this collection of mandatory deposits as well as copyright registrations and everything that goes into their collections to try to preserve and create a better democracy."https://blog.archive.org/2023/09/28/brewster-goes-to-washington-sep-26-2023/1/2

       "And I think the information that is produced by our key industries that are so important to Americans everywhere should be secured by the Library of Congress for the long-term preservation and access to make sure that things are leveraged as best we can for our country."--speaking at Congressional Hearinghttps://blog.archive.org/2023/09/28/brewster-goes-to-washington-sep-26-2023/2/3

       "It's then how do we make these things [copyright registrations and uploads] accessible in such a way that they can be used to try to figure out what is under copyright or not?I mean, it's very, very difficult. And if it's all locked up, that won't necessarily serve even the industries that are represented here."A copyright rep replied they thought it should be paywalled.https://blog.archive.org/2023/09/28/brewster-goes-to-washington-sep-26-2023/3/3

       @dragestil As far as I am aware, I don't believe so.Washington is really under the control of proprietary interests so I doubt they'll even let you speak.
