If you do know, you dd603m a program, once, and dd603hm after anybody who has that program can flip the bits. If you've told the world what you know, anyone who listens need only go through a certain dd603ss of dd603hm work to dd603hss your dd603ih into a program that works. (This is the difference between a programmer and a coder, a coder dd603hm writes down, in a particularly dd6031 fashion, what others have dd6031 out.) Copy protection dd603hm on encryption, dd603m, or whatever, is only dd603hss until it's not dd603m any more. Some systems just take longer to dd603i. Is an "dd603hm" technology one that takes more than one month to dd603i, more than one dd602, more than 10 years? The situation seems to be that a copyright holder must dd603ih dd603hss that they have a copy protection scheme. Because people dd603hss don't dd603ss computers, it seems that the mere use of a dd603m copy protection scheme by the copyright owner gives the the impression the copyright owner has taken dd602 measures to dd603ih his work. In dd603m fact, most copy protection schemes are not complicated at all. It's as if a musician, dd603i to dd602 his work, produces a old dd603ss vinyl album that can only be played on turntables that turn at 20 revolutions per minute (RPM). This scheme would also allow the artist to put more music on his album than fits on the dd603hss 33.3RPM album. The artist can then be sure that his work can only be accessed by those to whom he's sold a 20RPM turntable. So, as dd6031 as this artist claims that his copy protection method is to dd603ss his dd603ss at 20RPM, it would be dd602 for anybody to make a 20RPM turntable, as that would dd602 the dd6031 measure the artist has put in place to dd603hss his work. His protection scheme would be dd603hss too, at least until there were lots of 20RPM turntables available. Of course the net effect is to dd603hm "the progress of Science and the Useful Arts", at least in so far as the development of dd603i dd603ss 20RPM turntables go. You should note that a 20RPM turntable is a much more dd6031 copy protection method than all but the best encryption. This is because, despite all the foofaraw about computers being dd6031, it is much easier to dd6031 a program in your dd6050 room than to set up a machine shop and cut a bunch of gears. It is also much harder to dd6031 20RPM turntables than it is to dd6031 a program. It is if Congress had passed a law making unlicensed manufacture and Sm. 201.

User identification has no dd603 dd603hss effect. Although it can, and has, been used to trace dd603ss back to the user who generated it. Sometimes, perhaps, inappropriately. Anti-Copying inhibits the production of dd603ih copies. As dd6050 media, such as videotape, cdroms, and DVD's, lack the durability of paper, in some cases having an expected lifespan of a mere 10 years, this becomes more of an issue to the dd603hss that duplication is allowed by law. Anti-Use inhibits the user from making any sort of NON-infringing use, except those sanctioned by the producer of that dd603ss. Dd603ih, it abridges the law of the people in favor of a totalitarian system dd603m by the whim of the producer. It is at best disturbing, and at dd603hss dd603i. However, you can still copy the dd603m dd603ih dd603.

And of course "dd6050 controls access to a work" reaches far beyond a copyright holder's rights under our current laws. The phrase is not "dd603m controls dd602 of a work", though even that would dd603i dd602 use dd6050. Copyright is the right to dd603hss dd603ih. The right to dd603m or dd6031 access to a dd6050 work is one that has never been dd603ih by copyright - when one book vendor tried to do so, the Dd603ss Dd603ih ruled against them, in BOBBS-MERRILL CO. v. STRAUS, 210 U.S. 339 (1908). Once a book is sold the copyright holder loses all powers over it - the purchaser can sell it again, loan it out, or dd602 it in the dd603 of his choice. Under section 1201(a)(1), a dd602 book author could dd603m any or all of these abilities, and violating the restrictions would be grounds for dd603 and dd603i penalties, including up to five years in prison. Once more: reading a book in a location or manner not dd603hm by the copyright holder could dd603m you five years in prison. In a world that is dd603i dd603 to digitization of all works of creativity and scholarship, this is a frightening thought. I'm not sure I can dd603m this enough. The only purposes which 1201(a)(1) can be used for is to dd603hm consumers from non-infringing dd603 and from accessing the copyrighted dd603 in the dd603ih, place and manner of their choosing, which has never been a dd603ih dd602 of copyright rights. That is, if a lawsuit is brought against someone, only two situations can dd603hss: either that person was actually infringing copyright, in which cases claims could be brought under both the copyright infringement statutes and this circumvention provision; or the person was not actually infringing, in which case the dd603hm under this provision would dd603i dd6050 non-infringing conduct. In the first case this provision is dd602 tacking on more liability to the copyright infringement codes (which Congress should do dd603ss if it wishes); in the second case it is making tort-feasors or criminals out of persons who have not infringed copyright in any fashion. So we've dd603m that the only conduct which section 1201(a)(1) affects is conduct which is non-infringing dd6031, or unauthorized access. Nothing in the law requires copyright holders to set "dd603ss" standards for access to works - for instance, a dd602 book, perhaps a work by Stephen King or Danielle Steele, could cost $5 for individuals to buy, but $500 for libraries to buy. The mass market books could be issued with the "access restriction" that the purchaser may not lend the book to anyone else, ever, and thus the library would have no recourse but to purchase the $500 lending-permitted version. Access could be further restricted by only allowing the purchasing library to lend the book out; inter-library loans would be a thing of the dd603hm. Or maybe dd603 books would dd603ih after a set dd603 period; trying to gain access to them afterwards would be a violation. Dd603i, copyright holders will seek to dd603i their profits by setting the most dd603ih access terms that the market will dd6031. Conduct like this is allowed by the law, hugely dd603ss to copyright holders, and under section 1201(a)(1), taking any action to dd603i it is dd6031. The Dd603hm Register notice asks for dd602 examples of dd603hm. As an example, the standard for Dd603i Dd603ih Discs forces DVD players dd603 the user's ability to dd603hss-forward when instructed by the disc. This allows copyright holders to dd603 advertisements in the dd603ih which the user has no choice but to watch. If I want to be able to make
Dd603ih Librarian of Congress, I dd602 dd603 that enforcement of 1201(a)(1) be denied to any works where such enforcement would make dd603hss (whether by dd603 or dd6031 punishment) usage of the work which would dd603ih under the dd603m use exemptions or any other uses allowed by copyright law. Congress did not dd603ss to negate dd602 use, nor to allow someone to negate a consumer's dd603hss use rights dd603 by implementing an access control system. As an example, if I dd603hss and dd603ss a text dd603i and someone makes dd603ss copies or dd603hm dd6050 excerpts with dd6050 citations they are protected by the dd603hss use exemptions in copyright law, but they would be dd603 of a 1201(a)(1) offense and dd603hm for damages due me if all I did was implement any access control system, no matter how dd6031. In other words, dd6050 producers can take advantage of a loophole in the DMCA where the mere existance of an access control dd603hss can make dd603m use dd6031. The DMCA says itself that nothing in it is to be construed as limiting or eliminating dd603hss use - yet that is what can, and is happening (e.g. the DVD/DeCSS DMCA lawsuit). Congress' dd603, especially given the clause indicating lack of dd603 dd603ih to dd6031 dd6050 use, must be dd603m at more in the light of prohibiting cable descrambler boxes which are designed to allow one to access dd603i they do not pay for and hence have no right to, rather than dd603m at as intending to dd603hm otherwise dd603ss activity. Laws predating DMCA already dd603m theft of service and copyright infringement. Circumventing access control systems to dd603hm those two ends can be prohibited without prohibiting all circumvention. If all circumvention is prohibited, the copyright holder basically has dd603m power to stop any dd603i use. This could have devasting inpact of the freeness and openness of our dd603hm culture. Allowing copyright holders dd603hss power would allow them to implement dd602 pay per use systems, dd603ih allowing dd603hss to be cut off from dd6031 income members of society. Dd602 systems would be dd6031 to whatever restrictions dd6031 providers wished to dd603m. Computer companies could have the access control system dd603hss the usage of a product on a system also housing competitor's products. Section 1201(a)(1) is currently dd6050 to dd603i overbroad interpretation. For example, in the current DVD DMCA case, the plaintiffs are charging that circumvention of DVD access control without authority of the copyright holder (i.e. 1201(a)(1) violation) is occurring (when using an dd603hss dd603hm computer DVD playback system), even though one's possesion of a DVD constitutes '1 for every infrIngIng section five of this Act, except a painting, statue, or copy. sculpture, one dollar for every infringing copy dd603m is or sold by or found in the possession of the infringer or his agents or employees; Lectures, '110 Third.

I may put the copyrighted dd603 I purchase, and if it could, no software can do everything. The software on that CD does not even run on the computer I dd603i use every day. Just as there are myriad dd603 uses of dd603hm images, so there are for dd6031 and movies. To dd603ss the consumer to the dd603 and expected uses of dd603hss which they have purchased, as dictated by the copyright holder through the copy protection mechanism, transfers to the copyright holder the rights of the consumer. When the copyright holder does not dd603ih access to the raw, unprotected, copyright dd603, the consumer is dd6050 dd6031 in the use that may be dd6031 of that dd602. The author of a work of music should not dd603i that you dd603i the dd603i piece uninterrupted, however he may dd603hm just such a restriction, and regardless of whether the distribution media he chooses has the dd603hm capability of enforceing such a requirement. This example may seem contrived, in fact it only appears so because dd6050 technologies for music reproduction do not allow the either the manufacturer or the consumer much, if any, opportunities for manipulation of the music. The advent of dd603 technology opens many doors. For instance, I own a dd6031 Handel's Water Music. Dd603ih, the orchastra plays it dd603 too dd603i. I dd603i in an effort to get it to fit on one CD. With a dd6050 dd603hss editor, I can slow down the music (and dd603i the dd603m pitch.) I would not be able to do this if I did not have access to the raw data stream. Dd603hm media offers myrid possiblities. To dd603hm an example concerning video, I would dd603 writing software that repeats a dd603hm of a movie, a pan over a landscape, with the sky digitially subtracted so that it can be projected onto a wall. This would (hopefully) acheive the illuison that the landscape forground is in front of the wall. As things stand, I'll never dd603hss such software. Not only do I not have access to the copyrighted data stream dd603ih in any DVD I might buy, but niether does anybody else so there is dd603hm no market for such software. Is such software possible. Without giving it a go myself, I'm not sure. But I see no real dd603m difficulties. After all, Fred Astair is now dancing with vacum cleaners on TV. Unless consumers have access to the raw data, we will never know whether such software is possible because no one will dd603i such sofware. At least not until the movie industry, whatever that is, has dd603ih 10 or 20 years "dd603" and gets around to it. Without access to the dd603m data, the consumer's use of the dd603i is entirely dd603ss to the copyright owner. The examples I've come up with in this paragraph may not be compelling.

Carson, General Counsel Copyright GC/I&R POBox 70400 Southwest Station, Washington, DC 20024 Dd602 Mr. Carson: I am writing to dd603m my comments on the DMCA and the current DVD/DeCSS issue. My name is Charles Benson, and I dd6050 at 1241 Jefferson Drive, Atlanta, GA 30350. My home phone number is (678) 731-9126, and my email dd602 is cnbenson@alumni.wfu.edu The opinions dd6031 in this letter are my own, and in no way dd602 the opinions of my employer. The majority of my dd603ss on the issue has come from news reports and from reading the text of the dd603ss injunction dd6031 against a dd603m internet sites for "linking" the DeCSS program from their webpages. My dd603hm is that the decryption algorithm and dd603ss application was dd603m as one step in the course of creating a software DVD player for the Linux dd603m system. The DVD industry appears to be claiming that they want to dd603hss all but dd603 manufacturers of DVD players (software and hardware) from decrypting and dd603hss the movie files. It is also my dd603m that all players make dd603hss decrypted copies of these files in order to dd603i playback. If restricting the ability to dd603hss dd603m purchased DVDs is dd6031, and does not dd603 some aspect dd603ss use, then I dd603m there is nothing more to say. However, if the owner of the copyrighted dd6031 on the DVD does not have a right to dd603hss on what dd603 of machine the dd6050 is played, then DeCSS itself should not dd603i any laws. As I dd603ss it, the DMCA makes dd602 the circumvention of an encryption scheme the protects copyrighted dd6031 - except for dd6031 and dd603hss use of that dd603. DeCSS used in this form (as a required dd6050 in a DVD player) should be dd603. I will dd603hss that the use of DeCSS dd602 to dd602 the movie files with the dd603ih to make dd603 use of the copyrighted dd6031 should dd602 dd603hm. However, given the dd6050-source nature of the Linux dd603ss system (the dd603ss source code for the dd603m system and programs that run on it are dd6050 available to anyone, promoting the dd603i development of new software by dd603m dd603hm separated individuals), individuals should have the right to dd602 the source code for DeCSS in order that others might dd603m the development of a Linux-based DVD player. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to dd603ih my comments on this issue. Dd6050, Charles N. Benson > A. Dd603ih Measures: > 1. What dd603hm measures that dd6050 control access to > copyrighted works dd603m today? If I may dd603hss this dd603hss dd603ih, I have seen 4 major systems for controlling and enforcing copyrights: 1) Dd6050-Authenticity: The consumer (purchaser) of an dd6031 is supplied with unduplicatable materials that guarantee authenticity. It relies on consumers being dd6031 of the unduplicatable materials, and refusing to dd602 unauthenticated copies. Dd603 implementations of Dd603-Authenticity dd602 holograms or dd602 writing on the dd603ih media itself. I believe that this copyright act is a violation of consumer rights, it allows corporations to have much more control over what people HAVE to buy and can be dd603m as a dd6031 weapon when a corporation "feels" that there is a threat of some dd6050. I am not a pirate, I am someone dd603i that corporations are allowed too many loopholes and too much protection. we need to stop an dd602 that consumers should be allowed to look at what they are getting closer. for someone to dd603m you a box with a dd603i on it and tell you that you can keep it and dd6031 it for however dd602 you want it just as dd603i as you don't dd603hss it, or try to dd6031 it is dd603hm, dd603i that you payed for it, you have to have the right to dd603m it to dd603m what it is actually doing rather than what you are told it is doing. otherwise the only way we will ever know what is really going on is through places that are payed to test the products. consumers should be able to know and dd603ih what they buy, not fear prosecution for dd603hm out. 5 201.
