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."

    Sure, but you don't want to encourage film directors to hire hitmen when authors refuse to sell them the rights to adapt their bestsellers.

    I can only think of two exemptions.

    1. Software

    2. Hardware

    There may be others, but that's all I can come up with.
