HR 3261 again

According to the current issue of the American Library Association's Washington Office Newsline and Thomas, the House Energy and Commerce Committee has returned HR 3261 with an "unfavorable recommendation", prompting the introduction of an alternative bill, HR 3872, which is reported to be less drastic in seeking to rewrite intellectual property law as it applies to database information. I have not yet read that bill, but it sounds like this could be good news.
