Kamlager-Dove and Johnson reintroduce the RAP Act to safeguard artists' rights by limiting the use of their expressions in court.
Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove and Congressman Hank Johnson have reintroduced the Restoring Artistic Protection Act (RAP Act) to safeguard artistic expression in legal contexts. The bill seeks to limit the use of an artist's creative works as evidence in criminal and civil proceedings, responding to concerns about the misuse of song lyrics in legal cases.
Research has identified over 820 instances where creative works, particularly rap lyrics, were improperly presented as confessions in court. Kamlager-Dove stated, "Creative expression should be viewed as just that—not evidence to be held against artists." Johnson emphasized that the legislation aims to protect artists from being unfairly targeted based on their works.
The RAP Act aims to reinforce First Amendment rights by ensuring that artistic expression is not wrongfully used against creators. Various groups, including the Recording Academy and the Screen Actors Guild, support the bill, highlighting the importance of protecting artistic freedom.
