COLLEGE ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITY ACT OF 2005 -- (House of Representatives - March 30, 2006)

Mr. HOYER. Mr. Chairman, I thank the distinguished chairman. The gentlewoman from California and I have cochaired a caucus on copyrights. We have worked very closely with Mr. Goodlatte, and my good friend, Mr. Berman.

I do want to acknowledge that the education community and the entertainment community have been working cooperatively, Mr. Chairman, for more than 2 years to develop ways to reduce illegal file sharing and develop legal alternatives.

Some universities are true leaders, in fact, in combating piracy on campus. But we have no data, Mr. Chairman, that ensures that all institutions are aggressive in their efforts to educate students on piracy and in deterring this activity. I thank the gentleman for agreeing to work with us on this critically important issue, and I yield back to the gentleman from California.
