The 9/28/95 Congression Report states that Senators Hatch and Leahy have introduced a bill to amend the Copyright Act in accord with the suggestions of the recent White Paper on the National Information Infrastructure. In relevant part, S. 1284: 1) makes transmission of copies a type of publication (and thus potentially a means of infringing a copyright); and 2) prohibits the importation, manufacture, or distribution of any device the primary purpose of which is to deactivate any technological protections that prevent or inhibit the violation of copyrights.
