Washington - The U.S. Copyright Office is seeking public comment for its rulemaking proceeding on potential new exemptions to the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). "The purpose of this rulemaking proceeding is to determine whether there are particular classes of works as to which users are, or are likely to be, adversely affected in their ability to make noninfringing uses due to the prohibition on circumvention," reads the Copyright Office statement. Written comments proposing classes of works that should be exempted are due by Dec. 2, 2008, with comments for and against the proposals then due on Feb. 2, 2009.
