A number of news sites (ZDnet, theregister) are reporting that the US Copyright Office is accepting feedback on the affects of the DMCA. While it's unlikley to prompt changes in the law, lucid and valid anectdotes of how fair use of certain materials is infriged upon, may help determine the degree and nature of enforcement."

I thought we just discussed this not too long ago: http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51345. Nothing will change as long as the RIAA and MPAA keep handing our congressmen money.

slightly different, in that the thread you linked to is about a article, and this is to actually put your views to the Copyright Office. Granted they may not do anything, but our collective voices will be heard.. and at least for this.. you can do it from the comfort of your home/work :D
