My thanks to George Washington University – and Professor Robert Brauneis – and to the Copyright Society, the U.S. Copyright Office, and the law office of Mike Klipper for inviting me to talk this evening. It’s especially nice to be here because when I first began working in the Clinton Administration in 1997, someone at USPTO described Chris Meyer and Mike Klipper as “the copyright guys” who knew everything that had happened in copyright policy in the decades before.
