[78-L] Mary Bono Scandal

[Michael Biel]

As many of you know, it was Sonny Bono's widow Mary who inherited his 
congressional seat and introduced the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act 
which added 20 years to all U.S. copyright terms -- bumping the sound 
recording term from the year 2047 to the current 2067.  Well, with all 
of the horror of the shooting in Arizona yesterday you might have missed 
this other story about a pending scandal involving Mary Bono.  It's not 
much but there might be some financial involvement involved as well.

If she hadn't screwed with our copyrights I wouldn't have mentioned this.
