Target what you see as UCITA’S worst abuses and suggest removal of them as a method of removing your opposition.  If necessary, look to changing the wording to ameliorate the problems as well as can be done, and be sure the legislators know you are not intransigent--this will be especially helpful if the other side seems unwilling to compromise. You can thereby be seen as being more reasonable and will be perceived as more helpful to the legislators in working out a compromise, which is what they naturally want to do.

In the Tampa Bay area of Florida, we have prepared scripts for use by librarians at local community meetings, Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, etc. to alert citizens to the concept of UCITA and the possible restrictions it could place on their use of electronic products and resources.  Our emphasis is not just libraries but also the dangers for small businesses and users of electronic information.
