President Trump just abruptly fired top copyright official Shira Perlmutter via email.
This comes just a few days after he fired the Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden. The U.S. Copyright Office, which Perlmutter was in charge of, is a branch of the Library of Congress.

Sounds like another DC troll who was involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid.
“Sounds like another DC troll who was involved in the Mar-a-Lago raid.”
Yep, there is something there to get that person the heave-ho. That’s a good guess. Somehow tied to the National Archives, I’ll bet.
Slowly, the perpetrators and those who aided and abetted the raid are being identified and dealt with accordingly.
HOORAY President Trump!
Accountability and Justice - good.
He already fired her boss who appointed her to the position.
Just cleaning house... 😁
If you tell people to cut. And they don’t cut, then they become the first to be fired. This is how we did it in the business world. We cut 5% every year and grew 10%. If you did not get it done every single year you were punished once. You were fired second time. People always made it happen.
Keep firing! There are plenty of smart MAGA kids who would work in the gov’t for a few years as a public service0 then move on. End the “government job for life”.
That is a good baseline to start with. Fire the heads of agencies that were appointed by the Biden administration. Then find out who those heads hired, and fire them. Rinse and repeat all down the chain.
Crack legal firms probably vying for judge shopping opportunity on behalf of Society of American Archivists to halt and reverse this outrage. /sarc
Sept 2020.
Did he clear these firings with lower court judges?
Leftist clone—has to be dealt with in copyright court.
Lol.
Unprecedented Removal of Register of Copyrights Causes Consternation in Copyright Community

Full Title: Unprecedented Removal of Register of Copyrights Causes Consternation in Copyright Community
Maria Pallante, the Register of Copyrights and Director of the United States Copyright Office, submitted her resignation today, after being abruptly removed and transferred from office last Friday by Dr. Carla Hayden, the new Librarian of Congress, who was sworn in just weeks ago. According to a statement issued by the Library of Congress, Hayden transferred Pallante to a newly created non-managerial position within the Library, Senior Advisor for Digital Strategy. Karyn Temple Claggett, an Associate Register, was appointed Acting Register of Copyrights, effective immediately.
We are disappointed to see Pallante go. She was a devoted leader of the Copyright Office, launching several major initiatives—including a full review of the Copyright Act to bring it into the 21st Century, and the modernization of the Copyright Office to better serve the evolving needs of digital-era Copyright Office constituents—initiatives that took great vision and courage. She also oversaw a full review of and set of recommendations for bringing the Office’s technology into the 21st Century; she shored up copyright registration practices and created a comprehensive online guide to registration and recordation—the 2014 Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, Third Edition—which was the first wholesale revision of the Compendium in 30 years.

🤣🤣🤣🤣😎
While he’s at it, he should have a go at major reforms of both copyright and patent laws. Specifically, to add a “Use it or Lose it” clause. That is, lots of copyrights and patents are created just to “bank” them, effectively prohibiting their use by others, while making no effort to market them.
Thus you get at company like Disney, perpetually renewing copyright on some characters, while blocking other content, like the movie “Song of the South”, to keep it off the market entirely.
| If you tell people to cut. And they don’t cut, then they become the first to be fired. This is how we did it in the business world. * * * Thanks for your insider perspective, poinq! Reminds of what General Electric was doing decades ago under Jack Welch. Here's a fantastic 1993 column in Fortune magazine I discovered:
"In an excerpt taken from the hot new management book, America's leading changemaster reflects on what he has learned running GE -- including his mistakes." |
Imagine, the Federal Government has never downsized in 200 years. Lets say that during WW2 they downsized for the war effort. So thats 80 years of not downsizing. I am guessing that the Federal government does not need nearly half the 20,000,000 workers they have. And then consider the consultants NGOs and GSEs. This is WAGU fat.
Getting rid of fat does not just mean saving money. It means using the money for new things. It means management and other resources can concentrate on what matters. There is virtually no mechanism to stop a project once it gets funded. You can get too lean. But the Federal Government is far from that. They are a cancer ridden cesspool of bureaucracy that holds American lives hostage. America could get far better healthcare, far better defense, far better courts, far better education, far better Social Security and far lower taxes if change management was allowed in the federal government.
Currently we make a lot of false choices, spend more or do without. But the reality is we could get more, higher quality output and spend less if the bureaucracy did not hold all the cards.
| Well said, poinq. I remember my WW2 veteran Dad complaining when I was a kid, saying "When a program starts in the Federal government, it never ends..." You've given me some nice takeaway thinking. Here in Japan, I have the opportunity to sometimes play pickleball with guys working at companies like Canon and Honda. No doubt the downsizing problem exists widely in Japan too: the country is famous for protecting the jobs of seniors who worked many years for their companies. General Electric did not keep up with the times. Likewise, when I travel to a small city north of Tokyo I see the relic buildings of boom times when Sharp Electronics was a big name before the advent of smartphones and LCD monitors. |
