  Public Asks Copyright Office to Allow Common CD/DVD Uses
Time: 15:10 EST/20:10 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: David Gasior

Electronic Frontier Foundation Encourages Public Comments

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today announced that it helped 245 consumers submit comments to the Librarian of Congress and the U.S. Copyright Office requesting protection for certain ordinary uses of CDs and DVDs.

The consumer comments supported the EFF's December 18 request that the Librarian of Congress and the U.S. Copyright Office grant four exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in order to permit bypassing of certain technological protection measures for copyrighted works.

Currently, the DMCA prevents users from making the following four uses of some digital media:

(1) Listening to copy-protected music CDs on certain stereos and personal computers
(2) Viewing foreign movies on DVDs on US players due to region-coding restrictions
(3) Skipping through commercials on some movie DVDs
(4) Viewing and making fair uses of movies that are in the public domain and released on encrypted DVDs
