Washington, D.C. – Ahead of H.R. 6028, the Legislative Branch Agencies Clarification Act, heading to the House floor for a vote this week, Re:Create expressed its strong opposition to the legislation and issued the following statement.
“By removing the Copyright Office from the Library of Congress, H.R. 6028 threatens to upend a system that has protected and supported American creativity and ingenuity for centuries,” said Executive Director Brandon Butler. “Maintaining institutional unity through challenges such as emerging AI policy and DMCA rulemakings is vital to ensuring copyright evolution remains balanced, accessible, and ready to support the next generation of creators and tech innovators.”
