Good little video on RIAA's attempt to get copyright term extension in Europe

Thanks to the UK IP law blog "IPKat" for bringing this to my attention.

The Open Rights Group in Europe has posted an interesting video on the Big 4 record labels' attempt to put over a copyright term extension act in Europe. It's posted here:

"Come to Brussels and demand sound copyright".
