I never thought I'd see closure injected into the committee, but obviously that's what we have.
I find it overly restrictive in the sense of the testimony, especially regarding the witnesses. Maybe some circumstances have changed; the witness list itself is going to be new. As was directed by the committee in a vote, they are going to be new members. They're not people we've had before. Obviously, the conversation is going to be about the idea that we can't restrict them to a certain amount of time if you want to practise due diligence. If you don't, you can just cut it off at some point.
I have issues with the clause-by-clause aspect, but my first concern is the cap you're putting on witnesses for a piece of legislation as important as copyright.
