To Wit - Here is my submission and the response ....
Dear Commenter,
The comment attachment that you submitted to the Copyright Office's 1201
rulemaking via the Office's web-based form does not comply with one or
more of the following requirements contained in the Federal Register
notice:
The comment attachment
-- Does not include the commenter's name;
-- Does not include an identification of a particular class of works
proposed for exemption on the comment attachment;
-- Does not number each class of works, if more than one class of works
is being proposed for exemption;
-- Does not provide a summary of the argument for each class of works
proposed for exemption;
-- Does not provide particular factual support/legal argument for each
class of works proposed for exemption explaining how the prohibition on
circumvention of technological measures that protect "access" to
copyrighted works is adversely affecting identifiable noninfringing
uses.
The Copyright Office will only consider comment submissions that meet
all of these requirements ( see also further discussion in the Federal
Register notice: http://www.copyright.gov/fedreg/2002/67fr63578.html ).
Because your comment did not meet all of these requirements, it will not
be considered in the 1201 rulemaking proceeding. Should you choose to do
so, you may re-submit a comment that meets these requirements through
the Office's website form page at :
http://www.copyright.gov/1201/comment_forms/index.html before 5:00 pm
E.S.T., December 18, 2002.
