Hearings on 1201(a)(1) Rulemaking Announced; Reply Comments on Copyright
Office Website
The Copyright Office is announcing hearings in connection with its Section
1201 rulemaking proceeding to determine whether there are particular
classes of works as to which users are, or are likely to be, adversely
affected in their ability to make noninfringing uses due to the
prohibition on circumvention of access controls. The hearings will
be held at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., on March 23
and March 24, 2006, and at the Library of Congress in Washington,
D.C., on March 29 and 31, 2006, and April 3 and 4, 2006. Requests
to testify must be received by March 10, 2006. (Read further
information.)
Thirty-five reply comments were received by the Copyright Office in the
proceeding and are available on the Copyright Office website. The
rulemaking proceeding is mandated by the Digital Millennium Copyright
Act, which provides that the Librarian of Congress may exempt certain
classes of works from the prohibition against circumvention of
technological measures that control access to copyrighted works.
