> On another note I can e-mail copies of Senate bill S.198 (Computer >Software Rental Amendments Act) from the Copyright and Trademarks >Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It is the bill (sponsored >by Sen.

If I receive more than twenty requests I will post a copy >here. If that bill proposes to prohibit VCR tape rentals, I fear for the safety of our legislators :-) That's too big a business to mess with. <P.S.: I'd like a copy> Murph Sewall Vaporware? ---> [Gary Larson returns 1/1/90] Prof. of Marketing Sewall@UConnVM.BITNET Business School sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu [INTERNET] U of Connecticut {psuvax1 or mcvax }!UCONNVM.BITNET!SEWALL [UUCP] (203) 486-5246 [FAX] (203) 486-2489 [PHONE] 41 49N 72 15W [ICBM] -+- I don't speak for my employer, though I frequently wish that I could (subject to change without notice; void where prohibited)

The question I am interested in is, if they do pass this Bill, what will
happen to the Computer Software Rental stores etc... Or the Computer Rental by
the hour stores?
