The Platform Equality and Remedies for Rights Holders in Music Act of 2007, also known as simply the Perform Act of 2007[1] and sometimes written as PERFORM Act[2] is a bill introduced January 11, 2007 in the 110th Congress by Dianne Feinstein (California-D) and sponsored by Lindsey Graham (South Carolina-R), Joe Biden (Delaware-D), and Lamar Alexander (Tennessee-R) to the United States Senate as S. 256[1].
Should this bill become law, it would call for the implementation of DRM protections and restrictions on digital audio transmissions, such as over the Internet (Internet radio), XM Satellite Radio, and more. It would also call for services to be required to pay “fair market value”[1][3] for copyrighted materials, as well, amending other laws to make this possible. In addition, recording devices are barred from disambiguating songs in audio streams. However, the act would give consumers the explicit right to make "reasonable" recordings at home, for their own use, and to transfer those recordings to other computers within their home for playback.
