Copyright Office posts anti-circumvention comments

The Copyright Office has posted the reply comments it received from hundreds of Americans, petitioning it to carve out exemptions to the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA, which makes it illegal to circumvent an access control system (like the region-coding on DVDs), even if the end-result (watching a movie offered for sale abroad) is legal. These are terriffic reading, and enumerate all the ways that Hollywood's favorite statute has abridged the freedoms of everyday Americans. Link Discuss (Thanks, Seth!)
