[dvd-announce] Comments to the Copyright Office on 1201
Over on the dvd-discuss list, we have been discussing a reply comment to
the Copyright Office in its rulemaking on the anticircumvention provision
of the DMCA -- section 1201(a)(1). We propose that all classes of works be
exempted from the anticircumvention of access controls, where the access is
to make a non-infringing use of the work. We specifically criticize the
comments submitted earlier by the MPAA, Time Warner, and Sony.
The comment is online at
<http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/openlaw/DVD/drafts/1201comment.html>
The comment will come from Copyright's Commons, rather than trying to speak
for Openlaw, but we'd love to hear comments from you on how to strengthen
it. It's due at 5 tomorrow evening. (More information on the rulemaking
is at <http://www.loc.gov/copyright/1201/anticirc.html> ).
Please email me or Bryan Taylor <bryan_w_taylor@yahoo.com> with suggestions.
Thanks!
