Forget thinking that you'll be able to shorten copyright terms in this consultation.
I suggest that people might make a difference arguing for more explicit exemptions from the DMCA and more explicit fair use exemptions.
It ought to be legal to rip a DVD or Blu-ray movie to a computer hard disk just as it's currently legal (in the US) to rip a CD to hard disk.
It ought to be legal to convert ebooks to other formats, even if that requires removing DRM.
I just hope this isn't a cover for 'let's extend copyright again'.
