Washington - The U.S. Copyright Office has requested public comments on whether a provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that prohibits the circumvention of piracy protections has any adverse effects on users attempting to make "fair use" of certain works for non-infringing purposes. The Librarian of Congress is empowered to exempt certain classes of works from the anti-circumvention provision. The Copyright Office invited copyright owners, educational institutions, libraries and archives, scholars, researchers, and members of the public to submit comments by Dec. 1.
