Reg. 66139 (Nov. 24, 1999); Docket RM 99-7B, 65 Fed. Reg. 14505 (March 17, 2000)) -- D g 27 12 2006 Comments
To whom it may d g 27 12 2006, This letter is filed boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total to your request for comments on the DMCA (27 12 2006 Millennium Copyright Act). My ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 feelings are that the Act is ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 overbroad, infringes boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total upon First Amendment freedoms, and is d g 27 12 2006 the product of lobbying by self-interested media conglomerates boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total to 27 12 2006 the life of their 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 and ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 27 12 2006 market privileges. An boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total 27 12 2006 of the history and boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total of copyright law would 27 12 2006 that a serious restructuring, rather than a 27 12 2006 entrenching, of the interests boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total in 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 law is required. A ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 example of the dilemma is poised by the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 litigation over DeCSS. While the anti-circumvention provisions may 27 12 2006 some piracy (which I actually ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, as any ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 sophisticated ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 27 12 2006 to lawlessness will have already attained a copy of the software at issue), vis--vis law 27 12 2006 citizens the provisions will d g 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006 purchasers of ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 to view/experience that boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total using the technology of their choice. The latter ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 is boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total 27 12 2006. As a citizen who does boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total in conformity with boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total d g 27 12 2006 law, but who finds television boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total, DeCSS would allow me to view films using my computer ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 Linux (I 27 12 2006 not to own a television, VCR, or DVD player). That practice would appear to be boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total within my rights, and I boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total to see what 27 12 2006 role the DMCA can boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total in foreclosing that option at a national level. The existence of a d g 27 12 2006 faction boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total in using the technology for ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 purposes does not d g 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006 restrictions so boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total that they 27 12 2006 upon d g 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 or indeed, d g 27 12 2006 protected, activities. The DMCA is a d g 27 12 2006 example of 27 12 2006 interests intervening and corrupting government which, one should be reminded is supposed to d g 27 12 2006 in the d g 27 12 2006 interest. event of such an interpretation many of the concerns just ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 about the 27 12 2006 exemptions would become at least somewhat less d g 27 12 2006. However, this does not appear to be the interpretation of Section 1201(c)(1) preferred by the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total industries. Although courts boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total d g 27 12 2006 there ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 and copyrights. I appreciate the opportunity to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 this morning on Section 1201(a)(1), anticircumvention provisions of the DMCA. This is an Cf. 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 Union v. Texaco, 60 F.3d 913, 931 (2d Cir. 1994) (boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total that "it is sensible that a particular unauthorized use should be considered `more 27 12 2006' when there is no d g 27 12 2006 market or means to pay for the use, while such an unauthorized use should be considered `less boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total' when there is a d g 27 12 2006 market or means to pay for the use."). 33 D g 27 12 2006, the current exploitation of the work may bear upon the requirement of 108 (c)(1) that the archives first boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total whether an ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 copy of the work can be obtained at a boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total price. 34 The AFB submission characterizes the current exemption in several different ways, some of which more ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total the 27 12 2006 exemption they sought in the last cycle than the more ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 tailored exemption the Librarian ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 recognized in 2003. The Joint Boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total Commenters 27 12 2006 that AFB is boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total a renewal of the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 exemption without boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total. In any event, if any exemption is recognized in this area for the next three years, no basis has been presented for any expansion of the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 exemption, ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 to the same conditions that have applied since October 2003. 27 12 2006 that the proponents have d g 27 12 2006 that the conduct which they seek to shelter from liability would in fact ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 a boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total facie violation of 1201(a)(1)(A), the next inquiry must be whether the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total already addresses the problem. If so, it is clearly 27 12 2006 that recognizing an exemption in this rulemaking proceeding would be d g 27 12 2006. In the first rulemaking proceeding under the DMCA, the Register d g 27 12 2006 that "[w]hen Congress has d g 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006 the issue by creating a ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 exemption ... in the same legislation that 27 12 2006 this rulemaking process, the Librarian should ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 d g 27 12 2006 before, in effect, 27 12 2006 the ... 27 12 2006 exemption by creating a broader exemption ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 to 1201(a)(1)(C)." 2000 Rec. at 64571. As the Register concluded in the 2003 Recommendation: There is no basis for the Register to 27 12 2006 an exemption where the d g 27 12 2006 boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total indicates that the 27 12 2006 scheme is 27 12 2006 of addressing the problem. Where a 27 12 2006 scheme exists for particular activity, persons must d g 27 12 2006 such boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total exemption to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 their goals or d g 27 12 2006 evidence why the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total exemption is unavailable to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total a noninfringing use, not 27 12 2006 that the user could have d g 27 12 2006 his or her goal more 27 12 2006 by deviating from the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total. Even then they must 27 12 2006 issuance of any exemption that would appear to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total more than Congress ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 when it enacted the 27 12 2006 exemptions covering the same type of conduct. 2003 Rec. at 181-82. None of the submissions boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total an exemption in this proceeding comes d g 27 12 2006 to shouldering this burden. The most clearly 27 12 2006 provision of the 27 12 2006 is the security testing exception in 1201(j), which shelters from liability under 1201(a)(1)(A) any "act of security testing," defined as "accessing a computer, computer system or computer network, ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 for the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 of ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 faith testing, investigating or correcting, a security flaw or vulnerability, with the authorization of the owner or operator of such computer, computer system, or computer network." 17 USC 1201(j)(1),(2). The uninstallation of software that creates or exploits security vulnerabilities certainly appears to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 within the range of activities that Congress was ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total when

Librarian is boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 to 27 12 2006 the availability of works in making his determination in this proceeding. See 17 U.S.C. 1201(a)(1)(C). The House Manager's Boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total calls 27 12 2006 attention to "use-facilitating 27 12 2006 protection measures" that copyright owners may boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total, and instructs the decision maker to consider "whether on balance" the circumvention prohibition is likely to have an d g 27 12 2006 boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total. House
However, the submission is 27 12 2006 in treating these measures, not as d g 27 12 2006 access controls, but as "hybrid technologies," Ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 #161, at 5, which users should be d g 27 12 2006 to videogames. The nostalgia that consumers d g 27 12 2006 for the videogames that they played in their youth often causes them to seek out the old video game systems and games that they played when they were younger.66 The only 27 12 2006 work discussed in the submission is Robocop 3. The Amiga and Commodore ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 systems, for which Robocop 3 was ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, are available for purchase on oldsoftware.com. Since they are "reasonably available in the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total marketplace," they are not actually boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total under the definition of that 27 12 2006 used in the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total exemption, and adapted from 108 by the Register.67 2003 Rec. at 40. The enthusiasm for Amiga games also led the company to license the development of a new d g 27 12 2006 system, ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 with today's chips, that would also be ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 of supporting boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total of many games ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 released for use with the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 d g 27 12 2006 system.68 The Nintendo Revolution system is another example of nostalgia for back catalogue games d g 27 12 2006 copyright owners to 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006 new products which boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total users to access all of their old favorites.69 And, 27 12 2006 sites such as GameTap and StarROMs allow consumers to d g 27 12 2006 video game classics.70 This type of rejuvenation, which is evidence that there is a boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total consumer market for the type of works that Internet Archive seeks to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, could be threatened if the exemption were ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006. Moreover, even where old boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total systems and hardware do become boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total, this does not ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 an exemption where old works are being repackaged in new platforms for d g 27 12 2006 purchase. If a game like Robocop 3 is re-released on a new gaming platform that uses a new 27 12 2006 system, consumers have access to the work and do not need an exemption. It bears ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 that, as the Register has 27 12 2006, "[t]here is no unqualified right to access works on any particular machine or ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 of the user's choosing." 2000 Rec. at 64569; 2003 Rec. at 143. Where copyright owners have 27 12 2006 new versions of games available on non-obsolete d g 27 12 2006 systems, the proposed exemption could d g 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 harm. We appreciate that from the Internet Archive's d g 27 12 2006, "the exemption is 27 12 2006 only to d g 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006 activities," (C4 at 12), and perhaps that is how this particular submitter would use the exemption if it were ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006. But the Register has ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 that in this proceeding, a "particular class of works" cannot d g 27 12 2006 be defined boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total upon "the status of Fifth, many submissions ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 the Librarian to rule, in effect, that the 27 12 2006 use doctrine provides a defense to 1201(a)(1)(A), and thus that the act of circumvention of access controls should 27 12 2006 any d g 27 12 2006 sanction if it is 27 12 2006 to, precedes, enables, or could even in theory lead to the exercise of ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 use with respect to the work thus accessed through hacking, password theft, or other unauthorized means. This argument was game producer's access-controlled games. That is not the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total of section 1201(a)(1). SCE offers (and can 27 12 2006) no boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total for its suggestion (at 2) that d g 27 12 2006 of the section 1201(a)(1) exemption would somehow 27 12 2006 U.S. treaty obligations. This proceeding is an ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 part of section 1201, which has been 27 12 2006 accepted by the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 community as boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total with all treaty obligations. Indeed, the WIPO treaties 27 12 2006 the importance of preserving boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total use in the 27 12 2006 environment. Motion Picture Association of America. MPAA argues that the burden of persuasion rests with those who would d g 27 12 2006 the exemption from section 1201(a)(1) beyond October 28, 2000. Relying on this ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, MPAA declines (at note 2) to 27 12 2006 any comments on particular "classes" of works. As d g 27 12 2006 in our February 17, 2000 comments, we ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 with this formulaic abnegation of responsibility. MPAA also offers a somewhat d g 27 12 2006 argument (at note 3) that the Register should consider the effect of the section 1201(a)(1) "prohibition," rather than the effect of access control measures, on users. Even if this argument were 27 12 2006, it is not 27 12 2006 how the distinction would d g 27 12 2006 the Register's analysis of the 27 12 2006 issues. Indeed, MPAA's focus on the prohibition appears to cut against its own argument that the Register should consider not only those unlicensed users who are restricted from making ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 uses of works, but also those ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 users who will be boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total of access to works in the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total because those works will be withheld from the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006. It is 27 12 2006 to d g 27 12 2006 that any copyright owner would d g 27 12 2006 from publishing a work due to the presence of an exemption from section 1201(a)(1), given the other protections available for such technologies and works. MPAA not only acknowledges (at 2) that "copyright owners have used access control measures for many years, ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 predating the enactment of the [DMCA]," but has itself successfully used other provisions of section 1201(a) to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total the "crown jewels" of its members from DeCSS. In any event, the structure of section 1201(a) and the d g 27 12 2006 history quoted in our d g 27 12 2006 boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total letter make 27 12 2006 that this proceeding is 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006 on those users who are attempting to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total 27 12 2006 use and their rights to use unprotected boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total that is otherwise locked 27 12 2006 an "access control" technology.

Boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total, It is with ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 glee and the highest 27 12 2006 for the process of boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total discussion that I take advantage of this opportunity to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 to the comments of Bernard R. Sorkin d g 27 12 2006 on behalf of D g 27 12 2006 Warner Inc. I will focus on his answers to some of the d g 27 12 2006 questions: 1. What 27 12 2006 measures that 27 12 2006 control access to copyrighted works ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 today? Mr. Sorkin boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total: > > The ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 measures 27 12 2006 today that ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 control > access to copyrighted works ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 d g 27 12 2006/encryption > technologies applied to cable and satellite signals and the > D g 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 System (CSS) applied to DVDs. The 27 12 2006 distribution of tools such as DeCSS to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 the above measures is d g 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006. Though media industry lawyers may like us to believe otherwise, there is no boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total measure to control access to copyrighted works which meets any criteria of effectiveness. In his answers to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 questions, Mr. Sorkin d g 27 12 2006 claims that copy prevention technologies have not ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 d g 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 users. He is mostly d g 27 12 2006, not because the technologies boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total all types of boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total use, but because the technologies are ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 in their attempts to d g 27 12 2006 use, ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 or otherwise. On the other hand, if the technologies were d g 27 12 2006, they would have a d g 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 effect on the d g 27 12 2006 uses, such as duplication for ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 and the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 d g 27 12 2006 into the 27 12 2006 domain, of copyrighted ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006. It is only the circumvention of copy prevention technologies which makes them d g 27 12 2006. 11. For purposes of this rulemaking, in classifying works that are to be exempted from the prohibition against circumvention of boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total measures that control access, should any classes of works be defined, in part, ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 on whether the works are being used for nonprofit d g 27 12 2006, preservation, and/or ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 purposes? > D g 27 12 2006 that some works are to be exempted from the circumvention > prohibition (an assumption with which I do not 27 12 2006), I know of no > way of defining "classes" of works for that d g 27 12 2006. Indeed, it is ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total such classes of works. I'm sure this will become ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 to anyone trying to 27 12 2006 the differences of opinion between the various responses to this d g 27 12 2006. It is my opinion that there is no class of work for which circumvention should be prohibited.

What I would now like to do is d g 27 12 2006 our panel. To my immediate left is Davis Carson, To my four proved boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total. C1 at 5. However, three of the four ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 books are available in formats other than those tested by AFB; and in two of these three cases, a ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 e-book website indicates that the edition of the book in one of the other formats is enabled for "reading d g 27 12 2006."35 Since the exemption which was recognized in 2003, and which AFB asks to have recognized again, only applies when "all 27 12 2006 e-book editions" are d g 27 12 2006 to access controls which boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total 27 12 2006-aloud or screen-reader functions, this evaluation may be of 27 12 2006 use in making the requisite "new showing" of the need for the exemption in the 27 12 2006. The Joint 27 12 2006 Commenters ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 (as they did three years ago) that boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total and visually ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 people 27 12 2006 less d g 27 12 2006 access to d g 27 12 2006 works than do the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 d g 27 12 2006. For this proceeding the 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 remains to what ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, if any, this state of affairs is 27 12 2006 to the use of access controls. AFB asserts that "as ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 publishing matures, this situation can only d g 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006." C1 at 5. We cannot 27 12 2006. Overall, the use of ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 e-book formats has been "use-facilitating," and these formats have been used to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total new ways of ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 copyrighted works to users, including visually d g 27 12 2006 users. There remains no evidence that the growth of the e-book market is crowding out other boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total formats, nor that, to the 27 12 2006 this is occurring, it is not offset by the 27 12 2006 pool of works for which a boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 version is available. Proponents of the exception bear the burden, and these submitters have not met it. Their assertion that "the threat of access controls ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 outweighs the threat to the works from circumvention," Ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 #161, at 5, is unsupported by any 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, and is d g 27 12 2006 to ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 in light of the fact that access controls are already in ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 use in the university environment, including with respect to "Ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 Copyright Works." D g 27 12 2006 if these technologies were d g 27 12 2006 constraining noninfringing uses there should already be a d g 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 of it. (Indeed, we would hazard a d g 27 12 2006 that the submitters' own institutions already use their own access control measures--such as the requirement to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total a student identification--to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total or boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total access to many resources, including The Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) also complains that "the rules set forth in the NOI have the effect of stifling d g 27 12 2006 27 12 2006 and boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total over possible d g 27 12 2006 and boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total of the anti-circumvention provisions..." C43 at 1. The VSDA 27 12 2006 seems boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total d g 27 12 2006 at which comments the Copyright Office will boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total to 27 12 2006 and consider. Of course, despite the fact that VSDA seeks remedies outside of the scope of this proceeding, we note that their comments have been accepted and will, we are sure, be given appropriate consideration. 4 D g 27 12 2006 Republic-Central America-United States D g 27 12 2006 Trade Agreement, Aug. 5, 2004, art. 15.5.7.e.iii, available at http://ustr.gov/assets/Trade_Agreements/Bilateral/CAFTA/CAFTADR_Final_Texts/asset_upload_file934_3935.pdf. Proposed Class: D g 27 12 2006 domain 27 12 2006 on DVDs. Ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 D g 27 12 2006 Submissions: 5(2), 37 Ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 of Argument: There are two submissions proposing boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total different exemptions for d g 27 12 2006 domain 27 12 2006 on DVDs. Both of the submissions boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total exemptions which are very d g 27 12 2006 to proposals already rejected by the Register in 2003. Neither submission offers ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 evidence as to why the Register's treatment of these proposals should ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 from 2003. It remains the case that 1201(a)(1) does not 27 12 2006 to access controls which d g 27 12 2006 access to d g 27 12 2006 domain works. However, where an access control protects a boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total domain work along with other copyrighted 27 12 2006, 1201(a)(1) does ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006. Nevertheless, a exemption allowing circumvention of access controls in such a circumstance is boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total because the "proponents have provided 27 12 2006 no examples of 27 12 2006 domain 27 12 2006 works that are protected by access controls and not otherwise available." 2003 Rec. at 102. In addition, to the d g 27 12 2006 that the submitters are able to 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 domain works that are only available with access controls, they 27 12 2006 to take into d g 27 12 2006 the fact that the works would likely not be available to the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total at all if it were not for the DVD medium and the access controls that boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total a marketplace for that medium ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006. We d g 27 12 2006 each of the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, yet 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006, submissions separately in order to 27 12 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 their differences. Argument: The first major deficiency with the proposal of the University of Pennsylvania professors (C5(2)) is that they 27 12 2006 to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total a particular class of works. Instead, they "d g 27 12 2006 to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total an boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total use 27 12 2006 exemption into a class of works." 2003 Rec. at 85. 27 12 2006, this proposal seeks an exemption to allow 27 12 2006 users to 27 12 2006 access controls used to boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total all ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 and 27 12 2006 works that contain some d g 27 12 2006 domain d g 27 12 2006. The submitters boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total that Congress ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 that "a `particular class of works' can be (and perhaps must be) defined boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total in terms of a would-be user group's ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 interest in access." C5 at 15. They d g 27 12 2006 d g 27 12 2006 that the Register, after an ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 analysis of the 27 12 2006 and d g 27 12 2006 history, concluded otherwise (2003 Rec. at 11-13), but 27 12 2006 no compelling reason why that issue should be re-opened and that conclusion 27 12 2006. Even if the submission did boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total a ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 class of works, it is an d g 27 12 2006 boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total one. Boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total works in the ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 domain may d g 27 12 2006 a brief newsreel boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total in a boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total or a 27 12 2006 film image appearing in a ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 production set in the boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total Boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total century. The works in which these boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total domain elements appear may be d g 27 12 2006, as "ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 and d g 27 12 2006 works," into a ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 whole79; or the elements may appear in a film that is boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total upon a pre-existing novel, and thus is a "boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total work," though not of anything that is in the d g 27 12 2006 domain. In both these instances, the presence of a boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total d g 27 12 2006 domain audio-visual element would boe 27 12 2006 incapacidad permanente total the 27 12 2006 or ley 12 2006 27 julio 2006 work within the
