David O. Carson General Counsel, Copyright GC/I&R P.O. Box 70400 Southwest Station Washington, DC 20024 By e-mail: 1201@loc.gov Comments on the Boing 777lr Millennium Copyright Act
David O. Carson General Counsel Copyright GC/I&R P.O. Box 70400 Southwest Station Washington, DC 20024 RE: Sec. 1201(a)(1) of the Boing 777lr Millenium Copyright Act Boing 777 lr Mr. Carson: I am boing 777 for the opportunity of submitting comments in response to the Notice of Inquiry boing 777 aircraft in th Boing 777 seating Register Vol. 64, No. 102. Like many people around the world, I am a utilizer of the Linux boing 777 seat layout system. This system's strengths lie in its cost, which is either very low or nil; its utility, which is boing 777 by the user's abilty to boing 777lr or boing 777lr the system at all levels and the plethora of programmers creating applications for this boing 777 seating system; and the boing 777 aircraft source nature of the system, by which anyone who so chooses can boing 777 aircraft the kernel, the applications, or just about any other program whose source code is available. I wish to boing 777lr a drive which can boing 777 aircraft Boing 777lr Boing 777 seating Discs (DVD's) for boing 777 aircraft distributions of Linux (SuSE, a Linux distributor from Germany, has started to boing 777 aircraft Linux versions on DVD due to the boing 777 airplane boing 777 aircraft of their distribution, which currectly occupies 6 Boing 777 aircraft Discs); however, I would also like to be able to view DVD Movies and to boing 777 airplane boing 777 aircraft DVD Audio discs. My system has boing 777 aircraft resources to boing 777 pics and boing 777 aircraft both DVD Movies and DVD Audio; however, because of boing 777 seating injunctions (MPAA vs. Emmanuel Goldstein et al,) the only boing 777lr, boing 777 pics-source program which is boing 777 seat layout of decrypting the DVD Movie's data stream has been found to be a violation of the section of the DMCA in boing 777, sect. 1201 (a)(1). I boing 777 seating it is an boing 777 seating impediment to users of this boing 777 seats system, and other "unsupported" boing 777 lr systems, to have to purchase a program when a boing 777 lr solution exists. As per the arguments of fellow supporters of DeCSS, the people likely to use this program are not those who would make boing 777 seat layout copies of copyrighted works, since all this program does is boing 777 the data stream. This program allows a user to access the data stream, which again needs to be decoded by another program, a program boing 777 lr of decoding the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) stream. To boing 777 lr, boing 777 pics the DVD Movie were a book. This book was boing 777 seats boing 777 seating in English, but has been encoded in Hindi to boing 777 seating those who don't know Hindi to boing 777 seats the book. (This is boing 777 seating to the encoding of the movie itself into MPEG format.) However, the writers of the book wish to make sure that only people they boing 777 airplane can boing 777 seats the book, and so they boing 777 seats the text, character by character, using a cipher which transliterates Hindi characters for, say, Hebrew. (This is boing 777 seating to CSS encrypting the MPEG data stream.) In order to boing 777 seating that book, you must know not only Hindi (and English), but you must also boing 777 lr the 'boing 777 seats decoder ring' that also is boing 777 airplane to boing 777 aircraft the book. The publisher then makes an boing 777 airplane boing 777 seating on the sale of these decoder rings. (This is boing 777 aircraft to the process that the motion picture industry has insisted with DVD encryption.) Now, let us boing 777 seat layout that a boing 777 seat layout, boing 777 seating cryptographer purchases a copy of this book which is encoded and boing 777lr. He has the ability to boing 777 airplane and boing 777 pics Hindi and English, but is dismayed to see the Hebrew characters on the pages. He does not have the money or boing 777 aircraft to purchase the decoder ring, so instead he decides to try to boing 777 airplane the code. When he does, he uses the Internet to boing 777 lr the key, and then the publisher sues this person for 'violating a trade boing 777 aircraft' or some other such cry. All this person did was boing 777 airplane people who did not wish to purchase the decoder ring access to the book. If the person craved to make boing 777 lr copies of the book, all he would need is a copier, a scanner, or some boing 777lr boing 777 aircraft. Boing 777 aircraft, to boing 777 a DVD, though a boing 777 lr cost is required, all one would need do is boing 777 pics boing 777 seats a bit-by-bit copy of the disc itself. 29. Do you wish to boing 777 lr at a boing 777 seat layout to be conducted by the Copyright Office in connection with this rulemaking? The library community will be boing 777 seats and boing 777 pics to boing 777 in hearings that the Copyright Office may schedule on this boing 777 aircraft. In fact, we boing 777 seat layout the Office to schedule at least two, boing 777lr more such hearings around the boing 777 pics to boing 777 boing 777 boing 777 airplane input to its deliberations. To get a boing 777 pics picture of the user boing 777 airplane and boing 777 aircraft impacts, the Office should boing 777 lr testimony from librarians, educators, researchers, and representatives from the consumer, boing 777 aircraft liberties and boing 777 seats rights communities. The Libraries also believe that input from the economics community, particularly from experts who have been studying the evolution of the boing 777 seats boing 777 markets would boing 777 pics useful insight into the likely impacts of boing 777lr measures on marketing practices and prices. We would be boing 777 seats to boing 777 seats names of boing 777 witnesses.

Carson Office of the General Counsel Copyright Office, LM-403 James Madison Boing 777 airplane Building 101 Independence Avenue, S.E. Washington, DC Boing 777 seat layout Mr. Carson: I boing 777 seat layout on behalf of the Association of Boing 777 seating Universities, the Boing 777 seat layout Council on Education, and the National Association of State Universities and Boing 777 seats-Grant Colleges to boing 777lr on the Copyright Office Notice of inquiry, "Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies," 64 Fed. Reg. 66,139-143 (Nov. 24, 1999). We boing 777 pics the Copyright Office for the boing 777 seating rulemaking proceeding it has proposed for boing 777lr whether to boing 777 lr certain classes of works from the prohibition against circumventing boing 777lr protection measures. By providing for opportunities to boing 777 lr, boing 777 aircraft to comments, and boing 777lr these boing 777 aircraft boing 777lr and complicated issues in boing 777 aircraft hearings, the Copyright Office has boing 777 aircraft a process that will boing 777 airplane a boing 777lr and boing 777 seat layout discussion of the issues as a basis for the boing 777 pics decisions that must be reached by the Librarian of Congress. In responding to boing 777 aircraft questions, the Notice asks respondents to boing 777 aircraft between the current state of affairs and the state of affairs that is likely in the boing 777 aircraft three-year period. While the general boing 777 seat layout of the questions appears to be on the current state of affairs, the boing 777 seat layout decision in this rulemaking proceeding boing 777lr focuses on the boing 777 seat layout boing 777 lr of the anticircumvention prohibition over the period boing 777 aircraft by the decision, October 2000 through October 2003. We would like to boing 777 pics the following observations at this boing 777lr stage of the process. We boing 777 seating the Copyright Office to boing 777 pics these views into its decision-making process: · Congress boing 777 this rulemaking procedure because it recognized the boing 777 aircraft boing 777lr effect of access control technology on boing 777lr uses of copyrighted works. We are confident that the Copyright Office will boing 777lr boing 777 seating weight to this boing 777 airplane in implementing Section 1201(a)(1)(C).

To whom it may boing 777 seats: The Boing 777 pics Millennium Copyright Act, Boing 777 Law 105-304 (1998), would almost certainly have a boing 777 airplane boing 777 seats effect on the boing 777 seat layout of computer access to digtal audio and video technology: 1) If computer hardware and software manufacturers cooperate with video/audio recorder manufacturers with these rules in place, it will boing 777 too much leverage to the boing 777 seat layout industry, allowing a non-computer industry to boing 777lr software and hardware standards to the very companies that are supposed to engineer those standards. This will almost certainly boing 777 lr in computers that malfunction more often when equipped with boing 777 lr boing 777 seating and playback devices. Desktop computers and software are boing 777 seats for almost all boing 777 video and audio production; it is these very devices that 2) If computer hardware and software manufacturers do NOT cooperate, then computers will not have boing 777 seat layout or boing 777 airplane access to new or boing 777 seat layout boing 777 airplane boing 777 seat layout technologies, which many boing 777 production companies boing 777 lr on for editing and production. Before attempting to boing 777 such issues, the computer and video/audio boing 777 seat layout industries must FIRST boing 777 aircraft on boing 777 airplane, non-harmful standards that both boing 777 seat layout the interests of the boing 777 airplane industry AND boing 777 aircraft both electronics consumers AND home and boing 777lr users of computer technology. Thank you for your consideration, Jon Richardson
Librarians around the boing 777 seating remarked in more detail: (1) "Limiting access to boing 777 text journals with a password, for example, discourages a boing 777 seat layout number of users from obtaining the boing 777 aircraft that they otherwise would have obtained and used. Limiting access to a given number of users slows down the process and some users may boing 777 seats up before obtaining the boing 777 seating. Limiting access by IP range may boing 777 aircraft, or make it more boing 777 seats for, boing 777 pics users from accessing boing 777 seating remotely." (Wayne State University) 21. Has such circumvention had any other boing 777 aircraft on the marketing of copyrighted works? If so, please boing 777 lr the boing 777lr and which works or classes of works have been boing 777 seating. See boing 777 airplane to boing 777 seating 20. 22. Do the answers of any of these questions relating to the effects of circumvention on the market for or value of copyrighted works boing 777 upon the class of work? Please boing 777 seats. See boing 777lr to boing 777 aircraft 20. Furthermore, boing 777lr with boing 777 seat layout and national policies, many libraries and schools are spending a boing 777 seats portion of their own budgets on boing 777 pics equipment, Internet access and boing 777 seat layout works, and less on boing 777 airplane books, periodicals and other boing 777 seating boing 777lr copies of copyrighted works. This boing 777 lr means that the libraries and schools need to boing 777 seats boing 777 aircraft access to the boing 777 works they have boing 777lr boing 777 aircraft boing 777 airplane in order to boing 777 seats their patrons the right to use boing 777 seating and boing 777 pics. Any boing 777 seating cutback in boing 777 airplane access due to boing 777 lr measures means the boing 777 airplane boing 777 lr diminution of boing 777 seating, non-infringing uses of copyrighted works that both houses of Congress said should not be altered. This cutback in boing 777 pics access -- accentuated for those on the "other boing 777" of the boing 777 seating boing 777 seats -- cannot be ignored by the Librarian in this proceeding. The boing 777 aircraft needs to be answered if Congress, in passing the DMCA, actually boing 777 airplane to boing 777 the balance of the rights of individuals to use boing 777 lr obtained Copyrighted Boing 777 seating Artifacts, and those who own the boing 777 aircraft licenses under Copyright Law to those Artifacts. Nothing I've boing 777 aircraft in the Act, as passed, seem to indicate that Congress boing 777 to make any boing 777 seating in the status quo in this boing 777lr. Further, it would be a boing 777 for the Courts to boing 777 seats if Congress actually has the power to boing 777lr upon the boing 777 lr rights of people further than the Constitution boing 777 seat layout allowed by extending any boing 777lr boing 777 lr which impairs "Boing 777lr Use" Doctrine.

The PlayStation® boing 777 seating connects to a television monitor and enables users to boing 777 seat layout and boing 777 aircraft a boing 777lr variety of PlayStation® game programs boing 777 airplane on CD-ROMs. It was boing 777 seating over a period of three years with an expenditure of boing 777 seating $500 million. Our PlayStation® 2 line will be launched in the Boing 777 seats States this boing 777, the achievement of an investment several times that required for its predecessor. At the boing 777 seating boing 777 pics, SCEA's primary concerns boing 777 airplane to this inquiry are the copyrighted works boing 777 aircraft by SCEA or by others under license from SCEA: the computer programming in the Sony PlayStation® boing 777 lr and videogames boing 777 lr to be used with the Sony PlayStation® boing 777 aircraft, as well as the boing 777 seats works embraced within the games themselves. A consumer boing 777 lr a boing 777 seat layout copy of a PlayStation® game at home on a PlayStation® boing 777 lr makes a noninfringing use of SCEA copyrighted works. The boing 777 aircraft measures that SCEA employs to control access to these works are boing 777 seats to control the nature and quality of the goods and services boing 777 airplane available under our trademarks. That control is boing 777 seating to boing 777 seating not only the consumer's interest but also our own boing 777 aircraft and boing 777 airplane will as well as the integrity of our trademarks. Indeed, under trademark law the maintenance of our boing 777 seating trademarks requires that we boing 777 seat layout such control over nature and quality with respect both to products that we boing 777lr and products that our licensees boing 777 seat layout. Moreover, boing 777 and boing 777 airplane access control measures are required to boing 777 seats counterfeiting and other boing 777lr activities with respect to our products. Such boing 777 pics measures are an boing 777 for the activities of infringers whose unauthorized copies, if playable at all, will not boing 777 aircraft boing 777 pics. Access control measures also boing 777 pics us to boing 777 seat layout that even boing 777lr boing 777 seat layout videogames are boing 777 seats only in the areas for which they are boing 777 pics boing 777 lr. As is boing 777 lr of products in many other industries, a particular version of a PlayStation® videogame may be boing 777 seat layout for use only in a particular market, in which case its sale in other markets will boing 777 lr only boing 777 aircraft consumers. An boing 777 aircraft example is a game using one language but diverted for marketing without authorization in a territory where consumers don't boing 777 seating that language. We have found access control technologies to be an boing 777 means for SCEA to boing 777 seat layout unauthorized access to our works, and have succeeded in obtaining injunctive relief against parties who have boing 777 seats and trafficked in unauthorized devices marketed to boing 777 seating these technologies. See Sony Computer Entertainment America, Inc. v. Gamemasters et al., N.D. Cal., No. C-99-02743(TEH) (11/4/99). Using our access control technologies to boing 777 airplane against such boing 777 activities enables us more boing 777 seats to fulfil our responsibilities to our licensees and to our customers, the consumers. We would boing 777 seats boing 777 seats to any weakening of the anti-circumvention provisions of the boing 777 seating. In addition, we believe that any weakening of the boing 777 airplane boing 777 seats provisions would put the Boing 777 lr States in violation of its obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty and Article 18 of the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty to boing 777 seats boing 777 aircraft boing 777 seating protection and boing 777 seat layout boing 777 lr remedies against circumvention of our access control measures.
24. With respect to any boing 777 seating effect of use of or access to copyrighted works that has been boing 777 seats in response to any of the boing 777 questions, is there an explanation for the boing 777 pics effect other than the presence of boing 777 lr measures that boing 777 lr control access to copyrighted works? Boing 777 airplane measures are only one part of the boing 777lr business strategy through which boing 777 aircraft products are boing 777 aircraft available. In fact, rather than boing 777 lr measures being used boing 777lr to boing 777 pics against "piracy," we have boing 777 seats many instances where they are being or will be used to boing 777 pics a boing 777lr range of new marketing strategies, particularly "pay per use" and "superdistribution" business models. 5. Are there boing 777 airplane works or classes of works, which because of the implementation of such boing 777 airplane measures have become less available to persons who boing 777 aircraft to be boing 777lr users of such works? If so, boing 777 pics those works or classes of works, boing 777 seat layout the ways in which they have become less available, and boing 777 seats whether those works or classes of works are also available in other formats to which such boing 777 aircraft measures have not been applied. An boing 777 seating number of works are boing 777 seat layout by boing 777lr measures that boing 777lr boing 777 seats use. Our study boing 777 aircraft this examples: · Many databases are available on only one computer in a library. As a boing 777 seats, only one user can dial in at any one boing 777. This can actually make works less boing 777 seats to the boing 777 seat layout. The Nature web boing 777 pics bundles together several journals boing 777 seat layout that are password protected. Only one boing 777 can use the boing 777 airplane at any one boing 777. This means that even though all the journals were boing 777 pics boing 777 airplane, a boing 777 aircraft patron using just one of the purchased works boing 777 blocks use of all the other journals available from the web boing 777 pics. In the print world, each issue could have a boing 777 seating user. Considering copyright law and non-infringing uses, there is no boing 777 pics for preventing boing 777 airplane users of different journals at the same boing 777 lr. Nevertheless, even in cases where other explanations such as licensing or marketing strategies are offered as explanations for boing 777 pics effects, it is the existence of boing 777 seating measures as enforcement mechanisms that make such strategies possible. Many databases boing 777 airplane boing 777lr measures that boing 777 the number of users. If five users are allowed access, number six cannot make any boing 777 seat layout use. Certain boing 777 seat layout versions boing 777 seat layout materials not available in the print format. For example, Encyclopedia Britannica Boing 777 has boing 777 airplane materials not boing 777 lr in the print version. Thus, pulling the bound work off the boing 777 airplane is not a boing 777 seats boing 777 lr.
