Section 115 Reform Act of 2006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Section 115 Reform Act of 2006 (SIRA) (H.R. 5553) was a proposed United States law bill that would have required listeners of digital music and users of other digital media to acquire a new licence for each incidental copy of said media, including copies made by the pure act of playing the media, such as in network buffers, RAM, the CPU's cache memory, etc.

This bill was not enacted and thereby expired.
