EFF says DMCA Rulemaking Is Broken

Seth Finkelstein writes “EFF says: “December 1 is the last day to submit proposals (by 5p EST) to the
Copyright Office seeking a 3-year DMCA exemption for noninfringing
activities that are otherwise squelched by “digital rights management”
(DRM) restrictions. … This year, we are not submitting any
proposals. Where consumer interests are concerned, the rulemaking
process is simply too broken. … We have assembled a
short report documenting why we believe the process is so broken that we
have decided not to propose any exemptions this time. (We may support
narrower, non-consumer proposals made by others during the reply
period, which closes on Feb. 2, 2006.)””
