I received this email on another open source list that I am on.
I thought that with most people's adversion to Software Patents and the
like, some might be interested in this link. It's a USA-thing, so
I decided not to post this on the discuss list. That, and
everyone's "kill-file" for my posts. If someone out there still
reads what I have to say, you might want to forward it on to the
others. THere is a link in the story to the form you can use to
tell the Patent office how you feel. The form won't work until
Novemeber 2.

Subject: [Chugalug] US Copyright Office wants to hear from you about the DMCA
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So it looks like US Copyright Office will consider exemptions to the
DMCA with proper evidence of fair use being squashed. I suppose
this might include using a burnt cd of game where yours was chewed by
the dog. Can anyone think of some examples?
