DMCA Exemption Time
jvillain writes "Contentagenda notes that the Copyright Office is taking submissions for exemptions to the DMCA. They do this every three years. There's a description of the six exemptions made last time to give you some ideas. So fire up the keyboard and let the Copyright Office know what needs to be changed. If you don't get in now, it'll be another three years before you can try again."

let the copyright be valid only 5 years after the death of that person to let it be able to cover for funeral costs
Could even be shorter than that... corpses start to smell after a while...

Dammit, you people just don't give up on your quest to copy every bit of Intellectual Property you can find!
One more bit copied.

I can only think of two exemptions.
1. Software
2. Hardware
There may be others, but that's all I can come up with.
Hey, that sounds like a great idea for a bestseller. Might if I buy it off you?
