On September 10, the House Judiciary Committee reported the Manager’s Amendment to the Small-Claims Enforcement (CASE) Act (H.R. 2426) favorably out of the Committee by a voice vote. In a press release issued following the markup, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) called the establishment of a Copyright Claims Board “critical for the creative middle class.” He stated that the CASE Act “will enable creators to enforce copyright protected content in a fair, timely and affordable manner,” and called the legislation a “strong step in the right direction.” Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) said that the CASE Act is “common sense legislation” that would provide small creators with affordable legal resources to combat copyright theft and lauded the leadership of Rep. Jeffries in drafting this bill and achieving bipartisan support for it.
