Unintended Consequences: Twelve Years Under the DMCA
,----[ Quote ]
| San Francisco - Twelve years after the
| passage of the controversial Digital
| Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the law
| continues to stymie fair use, free speech,
| scientific research, and legitimate
| competition. A new report from the
| Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)
| collects reported examples of abuses of the
| DMCA and the ongoing harm the law continues
| to inflict on consumers, scientists, and
| small businesses.
|
| The U.S. Copyright Office is currently
| mulling proposed exemptions to the DMCA's
| ban on "circumventing" digital rights
| management (DRM) and "other technical
| protection measures" used to restrict
| access to copyrighted works. The Copyright
| Office is empowered to grant exemptions to
| the law every three years to mitigate the
| harms that DRM otherwise would impose on
| legitimate, non-infringing uses of
| copyrighted materials.

The UK's DMCA; Clause 17 falls, but at what cost?
,----[ Quote ]
| During another intense session in the House
| of Lords this afternoon a vote was finally
| held on the controversial Clause 17 of the
| UK's Digital Economy Bill. This clause
| would have allowed the Secretary of State
| to amend the UK's copyright law with a lot
| less oversight from parliament than usual.
| The government did not hide the fact that
| this provision would be used to clamp down
| on unlicensed file-sharers in various ways
| as the industry demanded. However, there
| was a bright side; the clause would have
| permitted Lord Mandelson (or more likely
| his successor) to do as he promised back in
| October and relax the UK's copyright law by
| bringing in the 'fair use' exemptions it so
| desperately needs.
