Ren Bucholz writes "In what was designed to be a "safety valve," the
Copyright Office is holding its tri-annual search for exemptions to the
DMCA's prohibitions on circumventing access controls. The Electronic
Frontier Foundation submitted comments last December that outlined four
"classes of works" that should be exempt, including copy-protected CDs,
region-coded DVDs, DVDs with unskippable promotional material, and public
domain works that are only available on DVD. They are asking people to
write in support of the four exemptions that they have proposed. The
Copyright Office is only accepting comments until February 19th, so get on it!"
