Overview: In this paper the URAA amends U.S. law in several ways. It amends the computer program rental provision found in section 109(b) of the Copyright Act by eliminating the expiration or "sunset date," so that copyright owners of computer programs will continue to enjoy an exclusive rental right. It amends both the Copyright Act and title 18 of the U.S. Code to create civil and criminal remedies for "bootlegging" sound recordings of live musical performance and music videos. These new remedies are in addition to any remedies that exist under the laws of the various states.
