The C.A.S.E. Act is good news!

Potentially good news in a sea of evil for creators: a small claims court copyright act has been introduced in the House. This -the Copyright Alternative In Small-Claims Enforcement (CASE) Act of 2016 would allow individuals a cost-effective (as opposed to cost-prohibitive) way to seek recourse against copyright infringers.
