Navajo lawmaker attempts to outlaw piracy on reservation
By Felcia Fonseca
Albuquerque, New Mexico (AP) Edmund Yazzie was playing in a hard rock Christian band three years ago when he got a call telling him a company was selling his band’s CDs over the Internet and on the Navajo Nation. While such bootlegging is illegal under federal law, it’s not illegal on the reservation. The Thoreau, N.M., man hopes to change that with legislation he’s sponsoring during the Tribal Council’s spring session in Window Rock, Ariz. “I always thought if I ever went into the councilship, that would be one of my goals, to get the pirating law in place,” said Yazzie, who is in his first council term. “That’s just not fair to the music artist. Some of the musicians, this is their livelihoods.” |
