U.S. Copyright Office to Examine Copyright Protection Systems Exemptions
The U.S. Copyright Office is holding hearings to examine exemptions to the prohibition on circumventing copyright protection systems for access technologies. The Copyright Office will determine whether there are particular classes of work that should be exempt from the prohibition because users are, or are likely to be, adversely affected in their ability to make non-infringing uses. The hearings will be held in Palo Alto on March 23 and 24, and in Washington, D.C. on March 29 and 31, and April 3 and 4. Requests to testify must be received by March 10, 2006.
