E.S.T ... Feb. 2.
Commenters are strongly encouraged to submit comments well in advance of the deadline to allow sufficient time to correct any format defects and resubmit comments before the deadline.Submissions must follow the format detailed in the notice of inquiry."

DMCA Reply Comments: The Rootkit Exemption http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/archives/004329.php "DMCA exemptions are defined in reference to a class of copyrighted works rather than a particular use of those works. Consumers, therefore, would also be free to remove software installed on their machines that posed security risks, allowing them to enjoy their lawfully purchased CDs on the playback device of their choice without risking potentially crippling security vulnerabilities."

Have you been unable to use your handset internationally because of firmware limitations? If you can offer this sort of personal and specific factual information in support of this comment, we urge you to file a reply comment with the Copyright Office." -- Seth Finkelstein Consulting Programmer http://sethf.com Infothought blog - http://sethf.com/infothought/blog/ Interview: http://sethf.com/essays/major/greplaw-interview.php ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
