LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Copyright Office

37 CFR Part 201

[Docket No. RM 2005-11]


Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection
Systems for Access Control Technologies

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Notice of inquiry.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is preparing
to conduct proceedings in accordance with section 1201(a)(1) of the
Copyright Act, which was added by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
and which provides that the Librarian of Congress may exempt certain
classes of works from the prohibition against circumvention of
technological measures that control access to copyrighted works. The
purpose of this rulemaking proceeding is to determine whether there are
particular classes of works as to which users are, or are likely to be,
adversely affected in their ability to make noninfringing uses due to
the prohibition on circumvention. This notice requests written comments
from all interested parties, including representatives of copyright
owners, educational institutions, libraries and archives, scholars,
researchers and members of the public, in order to elicit evidence on
whether noninfringing uses of certain classes of works are, or are
likely to be, adversely affected by this prohibition on the
circumvention of measures that control access to copyrighted works.

DATES: Written comments are due by December 1, 2005. Reply comments are
due by February 2, 2006.
