Chairman Tillis, Ranking Member Coons, Members of the Committee, thank you for giving me the opportunity to testify today about voluntary agreements. This is an issue that Re:Create’s members care deeply about. Re:Create is a coalition that represents a diverse set of creators, innovators and internet users — groups that overlap with each other more and more over the last 25 years. Today, everyone can be a creator and distribute their creations globally, whether a music video, short film, artisan creations, books, art or any other form of creative output. Internet users are creators, and internet creators are users. The internet has allowed for the arts and sciences to blossom. Re:Create’s membership stands strong for these principles.
