Subject: [DMCA-Activists] DMCA 1201 Anti-circumvention rulemaking COMMENTS
POSTED
http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2006/comments/index.html
The U.S. Copyright Office - Anticircumvention Rulemaking [1] (for
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) has now posted the Comments on
Anticircumvention Exemptions [2]:
Rulemaking on Exemptions from Prohibition on Circumvention of
Technological Measures that Control Access to Copyrighted Works
The Copyright Office received 74 comments in response to its
notice of inquiry in this rulemaking. A significant number of
these comments do not adhere to the requirements of the Office's
Notice of Inquiry. For example, a number of commenters have
failed to propose a "class of works," have proposed broad classes
without factual support for such a class, have not identified a
causal connection between a noninfringing use and the prohibition
on circumvention, or have not identified an access control that
would implicate the prohibition of circumvention. While the value
of such comments to this statutory inquiry is questionable, the
Copyright Office has decided to post these comments.
It should be noted, however, that the reply comment period is an
opportunity to be responsive to the initial proposals, and the
Office will only consider reply comments that provide additional
facts and/or arguments in further support of or in opposition to
genuine proposals for exemptions contained in the comments that
appear below. The only mechanism for raising new proposed
exemptions at this time is the discretionary petition process
discussed in the last paragraph of the Notice of Inquiry [3].
