It is these provisions that effectively prevent instructors, researchers, and other consumers from "breaking" technological barriers to content, even for purposes that would be legitimate under fair use or other portions of copyright law. On November 27, the Copyright Office officially enacted six new exemptions, several of which are of direct relevance to colleges, universities, and libraries. Film professors, for example, may now bypass content locks to create compilations of audiovisual clips for classroom use. Other exemptions apply to the investigation of security flaws, archiving of content in obsolete formats, and content access for users with visual impairments. http://connect.educause.edu/display/36999#comments Copyright Copyright Infringement DMCA Contributed by Organizations or Campuses Government Documents, Laws, Testimonies or Reports HTML Thu, 14 Dec 2006 15:44:23 -0600 drupal 36999 at http://connect.educause.edu http://connect.educause.edu/display/35724 A December 1998 memorandum by the U.S. Copyright Office that provides an overview of the law's provisions.
