Volunteers Needed to Fix the DMCA
The Copyright Office is soliciting comments on the DMCA´s anti-circumvention clause. The Copyright Office wants comments from people who tried to do something legal and useful but were locked out by access-control, because they are considering making exceptions to the anti-circumvention rule. EFF is recruiting volunteers to contribute to this:
- People who have had bad experience with access-controls, to write comments
- Editors, who will put the comments into the format the Copyright Office requires
- Law-students, who will check the comments to make sure that the phraasing speaks directly to the questions the Copyright Office is asking
