TechDirt reports [techdirt.com]

[Congresswoman] Sheila Jackson-Lee submitted a House Resolution honoring Frankie Knuckles [congress.gov], the pioneering [wikipedia.org] House DJ (and, here, we no longer mean "House of Representatives") who passed away last year. Such resolutions are pretty typical and a nice honor, if fairly meaningless overall. Still, it seems somewhat bizarre that in a resolution honoring Knuckles, who won the first ever "Remixer of the Year" Grammy [wikipedia.org] back in 1998, that Jackson-Lee used it as a reason to argue for stronger copyright protections.

Very frustrating.
