Republican Study Committee Policy Brief: Three Myths about Copyright Law and Where to Start to Fix It

The following report was written by Derek S. Khanna, at the time a congressional staffer with the House Republican Study Committee ("RSC"), and was published by the RSC on November 17, 2012. The RSC placed the report on their website and an e-mail was sent to approximately 165 Members of Congress and their staff with this official report. Within twenty-four hours of its publication, the RSC removed the report from its website but did not issue a formal retraction. As a result of the events following publication of the report, Mr. Khanna no longer works for the RSC.

What follows is the text of that report, exactly as published, followed by Mr. Khanna's reflections on the report and the response it received.
