Copyright Office announces California hearings on DMCA anticircumvention exemptions

By Stanford Center for Internet and Society on

Among other things, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits the circumvention of technological measures that control access to copyrighted works.  The Copyright office is currently engaged in rulemaking to possibly add exemptions to this prohibition.
Yesterday the Office announced that it will hold public hearings at the UCLA Law School in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.   These hearings are in addition to hearings already scheduled in April in Washington, D.C.
Requests to testify at the Los Angeles hearings must be received by 5:00 pm EST on April 8, 2003.  More info here Hearings.
