Get a room.
Back on topic, I have two interesting (I think, anyway) and genuinly new things add:
1. An interesting article on a law firm's website:
http://www.lockelord.com/art_2011law...randevanslyke/
According to that article, not only is the legal status of stripping DRM in the US still ambiguous, but currently, whether the the fifth circuit ruling (stripping is legal if you don't violate copyright) or the ninth circuit ruling (it's illegal) would apply depends on which state you're in.
2. The Library of Congress's three-year administrative rule making process, whereby they can declare exemptions to the anti-circumvention provisions, begins this coming October, 2011 for the rules that will be made in 2012.
In October, the Copyright Office web site (
www.copyright.gov) will post a Notice of Inquiry.
This notice will lay out how the public can provide input on what the new exemptions should be.
Mark your calendars, folks!
