>From the article:
"Earlier this month, the Computer & Communications
Industry Association
filed a complaint with the FTC alleging that professional
sports
leagues, Hollywood studios, and book publishers were all
using copyright
notices that misrepresented the law. Now, the group has
launched a web
site called Defend Fair Use that shows they are serious
about making the
complaint stick."

It's a rather odd coalition for the action, but I do very
much like 
their goals.
