In December, the US Copyright Office requested commentary on DMCA.
They have since published the comments they received, some of which
apply to the impact on information security.

The comments are at:

  http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2003/comments/index.html

The "home page" for DMCA feedback is:

The comments that are related to infosec include:

   3. Owen P. Martin
  12. William Noble
  16. Darrin Cardani, Buena Software, Inc.
  19. Daniel McEnnis
  27. Edward W. Felten

The remaining comments regard other issues that are not specifically
targeted towards information security.

The Copyright Office is seeking "reply comments" by February 19, but
it is not immediately clear how those comments should be submitted.
