A new organizaton announced itself this morning -- the Copyright Alliance, "a non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to the value of copyright as an agent for creativity, jobs and growth."

The CA membership consists of 29 major content producers, and its Executive Director is Patrick Ross, former VP of PFF.

It also has the endorsement of Harold Berman, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property of the House Committee on the Judiciary, who spoke at the kick-off event, and other Hill powers. In assessing the future focus of the Alliance's activities, the fact that the kick-off was held on Capitol Hill provides a pretty good clue.
