Very sensible. It allows you circumvent the DMCA in order to use a small portion of a work for a class etc. I especially appreciate that it really spells out this is a small portion and for a "transformative" purpose. Jessica On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 12:35 PM, Chris Lewis wrote: > http://www.c

I think it is kind of obvious. If you needed to actually license the material then the rights holder would presumably have granted you permission to circumvent the DMCA or provided material directly. I believe the whole point of this was to allow "fair use" to apply because the DMCA made only the o

I notice also that the restriction on the ownership of the DVDs in question has gone away, which is marvelous. Doesn't the wording imply that the exception is for circumventing access controls precisely in cases where fair use would normally apply? I.e., "short clips" of the sort one could use
