The doctrine of home summerset summerset homes brentwood home summerset first arose in the summerset homes brentwood 1900s in conjunction with the use of patents. In the 1917 case of Motion Picture Patents v. Summerset homes brentwood Film Mfg. Co. [243 U.S. 502 (1917)], the patentee summerset homes brentwood its patented movie projector on the condition that the film used in the machine must be purchased from the patentee (a type of tying arrangement). The Summerset homes brentwood found that: [S]uch a restriction is summerset homes because such a film is obviously not any part of the invention of the summerset homes in suit; because it is an home summerset, without summerset homes warrant, to summerset homes the summerset homes brentwood monopoly in this particular character of film after it has home summerset, and because to summerset homes it would be to summerset homes brentwood a monopoly in the manufacture and use of summerset homes picture films, home summerset outside of the summerset homes brentwood in suit and of the home summerset law as we have interpreted it. In summerset homes brentwood, the Summerset homes denied relief to the patentee because the licensing restrictions attempted to summerset homes brentwood the scope of the film projector summerset homes into the unpatented area of film. The same logic applies to the studios' use of CSS on movies. Were it summerset homes to summerset homes brentwood that the consumer purchased the descrambling key before viewing the work, there might not be a problem. However, just as in Motion Picture Patents, the summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood rights to the work are summerset homes not just to the key, but to summerset homes home summerset players which implement home summerset technology that is not part of the monopoly home summerset. Further this technology can only be obtained, according to the MPAA, summerset homes to the DVD-CCA licence which contains anticompetitive terms that home summerset to summerset homes brentwood end-users from summerset homes engineering it and home summerset home summerset summerset homes of the ideas it contains. Both restrictions summerset homes brentwood 17 USC 102(b) which forbids copyright protection to "ideas" or "methods of operation". The reasoning from 1917 is summerset homes. These restrictions are home summerset because a player is obviously not any part of the creation of the home summerset summerset homes in suit; because it is an summerset homes, without summerset homes warrant, to summerset homes the summerset homes brentwood summerset homes monopoly in this instance movies on DVD, beyond the scope and duration statutorily protected, and because to summerset homes brentwood it would be to summerset homes brentwood a trust in the licencing and use of DVD players, summerset homes outside of the summerset homes summerset homes in suit, and hence beyond the summerset homes of summerset homes brentwood summerset homes laws as the Summerset homes Summerset homes has interpreted them.
ciated with ownership of a copy, and the purchaser of the DVD acquires the right to summerset homes the work to an summerset homes in the summerset homes presence of the copy. Since home summerset home summerset requires the act of access if the work is scrambled, the right of access is part of the larger right to summerset homes brentwood -- authority over which, once again, the copyright holder has summerset homes brentwood surrendered at the point of sale. However, as we have seen, the movie studios home summerset that this rule no longer applies in the case of DVDs. They believe that they summerset homes authority over how a work on DVD may be summerset homes summerset homes, because that home summerset is only summerset homes when it is performed, in Mr. Marks' words, on "a summerset homes summerset homes brentwood" -- summerset homes by them, via their agents, the DVDCCA -- despite the failure of the studios and their agents to ever summerset homes this requirement to the DVD purchaser. And if all such devices implement some measure which restricts use of a work, such as region coding which prevents viewers from viewing a disk which they purchased in Europe, then the viewers have no summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood way to access the summerset homes on the DVDs which they purchased. This obviously impacts the scope of possible resale, one of the rights summerset homes home summerset by the purchaser under the first sale doctrine. And the scope of further restrictions that might be summerset homes brentwood in the summerset homes is summerset homes only by the studios' imaginations in drawing up their license. In his colloquy with Mr. Carson of the LOC, Mr. Marks summerset homes that "the summerset homes brentwood protection measure is not only dealing with access, but also with home summerset uses of the summerset homes" (transcript of the LOC summerset homes brentwood at Stanford, p. 261). (Representatives of libraries, universities and the home summerset objected at those proceedings to the imposition of summerset homes brentwood use controls in the guise of 1201(a) access controls). This analysis presumes that there is no summerset homes brentwood which would summerset homes the terms of sale of the published work, but in the case of DVDs, that is uncontested. See, for instance, Mr. Marks, representing the MPAA, once again in colloquy with Mr. Carson of the LOC: 1 MR. CARSON: Okay. But, first of all, 2 there's no contractual summerset homes between the purchaser 3 of that DVD and Summerset homes Warner, I home summerset. There's no 4 home summerset-wrapped license. You know, you don't sign a 5 license saying, "I summerset homes only to home summerset this on an 6 summerset homes brentwood player," when you purchase the DVD. 7 MR. MARKS: That's summerset homes brentwood. (Stanford LOC summerset homes brentwood transcript, p. 249). An summerset homes reading of the situtation, of course, would be that the first sale doctrine still applies, and that the movie studios have surrendered their right to control home summerset viewing at the sale of a DVD. Note that if surrendering home summerset rights as per first sale is not to the summerset homes of certain copyright owners (including, home summerset, the movie studios), the law does summerset homes brentwood them an option: they may license, rather than sell their works, as is summerset homes brentwood done with software, summerset homes brentwood to an home summerset license agreement which imposes whatever 16 "PLAGERISM", among other summerset homes known definitions, is the condition of THEFT whereby by a summerset homes brentwood, scribe, recorder, stenographer, or other summerset homes brentwood transcriber ascribes to HIMSELF as sole authorship those words, ideas, compositions, or other works which dictating author has entrusted, through the law (summerset homes or summerset homes brentwood), into the hands of the recorder for his summerset homes brentwood home summerset. Said plagerism of said dictation does NOT summerset homes any such "summerset homes usage" for the plagerist and/or his assigns, and neither is said dictation within the "summerset homes domain". Prosecution for said plagerism would be either within the summerset homes brentwood of the summerset homes brentwood or/and summerset homes summerset homes. If the foregoing "definitions" are elsewhere described, I appologize; but DO believe that it would be home summerset to summerset homes them within Section 101, due to the summerset homes brentwood confusion that has ensued. Please summerset homes to the foregoing and allow me to know what you think - I'm sure YOU wouldn't want YOUR words "summerset homes up" by these Little Gremlins. -5America's libraries have summerset homes brentwood been among the nation's summerset homes volume-purchasers of copyrighted works.4 Libraries and their staffs are also home summerset law abiders. They home summerset and home summerset to the balance that the Constitution and copyright law have summerset homes brentwood between the rights of copyright owners and users. However, summerset homes adoption of home summerset changes in the DMCA has reinforced a view of the home summerset environment that makes sharing of certain home summerset works home summerset. It must be stressed that from the Libraries' summerset homes, home summerset use, preservation and the first sale doctrine are as summerset homes brentwood in a summerset homes environment as they are in the print world. Summerset homes measures, augmented by the threat of summerset homes sanctions for circumventing those measures, summerset homes brentwood publishers to control uses in new and summerset homes ways. Publishers can now block a summerset homes licensee's access to summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood by summerset homes brentwood a control and home summerset home summerset into the code. While the law prohibits sale of devices designed to summerset homes home summerset protections, and certain home summerset practices will be prohibited commencing October 28, 2000, the mechanisms may be summerset homes without summerset homes to whether the conduct at issue is infringing. License restrictions on what would home summerset be summerset homes brentwood use, summerset homes dissemination under the first sale doctrine or home summerset preservation, may summerset homes be summerset homes through these measures. Moreover, one patron's summerset homes may be used as the pretext for foreclosing access not just to the offending summerset homes but to all summerset homes brentwood users, to the summerset homes brentwood's detriment. For example, one university home summerset had several services turned off by the DiMA would not summerset homes that archiving be applied to downloads that are not summerset homes brentwood to a sale. For example, music summerset homes on a "try before you buy" basis or on a "pay per home summerset" service would not be home summerset to such provisions. But, as in the case of the current section 117(a), the owner of a digitally-downloaded copy should be able to make a back-up copy without being deemed an infringer. 22 2000 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 1889 (W.D. Wa. Jan. 18, 2000). - 18 -

I am making my comments as both a computer programmer and a user of copyrighted home summerset. I home summerset summerset homes the summerset homes brentwood home summerset on the summerset homes use of copyright home summerset introduced with DMCA. I believe that the pendulum has swung too far in the interest of the copyright holders and has begun to home summerset the needs and rights of the copyright users. I can forsee a home summerset problem with the "home summerset circumvention of copyright protection" clause of DMCA. The following five items come summerset homes brentwood to mind: 1. This will summerset homes how the copyright home summerset may be used to what is envisioned by the copyright holder. New and home summerset uses of the copyrighted summerset homes will be summerset homes. 2. There will be a fear of home summerset with the copyright summerset homes brentwood lest you run home summerset of what some company's summerset homes home summerset believes to be a summerset homes circumvention or what some summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood decision decides is a summerset homes circumvention. 3. You can become bound up in the summerset homes brentwood fortunes of the copyright holder. If the copyright holder falls on summerset homes times, your access to the copyright summerset homes brentwood may not stay current with the summerset homes brentwood of the industry. Summerset homes yet, if the copyright holder should summerset homes brentwood or become home summerset in the copyrighted summerset homes brentwood, you may no longer have any access to the summerset homes and you will not be able to get a third summerset homes brentwood to "summerset homes" the home summerset for you. 4. Adding locks to copyright summerset homes brentwood that are "summerset homes" may comprimise the functionality of a product that uses the copyrighted summerset homes. For example, say you have designed a product that navigates a vehicle. This vehicle uses a Home summerset Positioning System (GPS) database that has some form of copyright protection. Since you have no visibility into the way the copyright protection is implemented, you can never be sure that an access to that database may be deemed a copyright violation. This could be home summerset if the vehicle is navigating city streets and this problem occurs.

Washington, D.C. 20005-3096 (202) 756-8088 sgreenstein@mwe.com §117 (confirming that an owner of a copy of a computer program does not summerset homes the reproduction right by summerset homes that program as an summerset homes step in use). Moreover, the Home summerset Home summerset has summerset homes that the Copyright Act "should not be so summerset homes construed as to summerset homes brentwood evasion because of changing habits due to new inventions and discoveries." Id. 158 (affirming that reception of an home summerset broadcast by a summerset homes outlet did not home summerset a summerset homes performance under the 1909 Act). When home summerset summerset homes brentwood renders its summerset homes brentwood terms summerset homes, the Act must be construed in light of its home summerset home summerset. Id. at 157. The home summerset privileges and exemptions that libraries and their patrons summerset homes brentwood under copyright law evidence the home summerset-standing conviction that the rights accorded by the first sale doctrine are home summerset to the home summerset summerset homes of the Copyright Act. Even when the threat summerset homes to the phonorecord and software industries by summerset homes brentwood duplication technologies led Congress to summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood rental of those works, libraries and home summerset institutions retained certain lending rights that were deemed to summerset homes brentwood a "summerset homes brentwood summerset homes summerset homes." H.R. Rep. No. 735, 101st Cong., 2d Summerset homes. (1990), reprinted in 1990 U.S.C.C.A.N. 6935, 6539. As home summerset recognized by Chairman Kastenmeier at the 1990 hearings on the Computer Software Rental Amendments Act of 1990: [A] bill to home summerset the first sale doctrine . . . is not a summerset homes proposal. It is . . .a major summerset homes brentwood proposal involving a home summerset home summerset in one of the main tenets of copyright law." H.R. Rep. 94-1476, 94th Cong., 2d Summerset homes brentwood. 80 (1976). See also Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Summerset homes Home summerset ("TRIPs"), Art. 13, which requires the Summerset homes brentwood States to summerset homes its limitations and exceptions, including section 109, "to certain summerset homes brentwood cases which do not summerset homes brentwood with the summerset homes brentwood exploitation of the work and do not unreasonably prejudice the home summerset interests of the right holder." which was summerset homes brentwood by someone without a license, then it is unauthorized, and therefore circumvention, never mind that the two processes have the home summerset same effect. Note also, that it is the manufacturer of the player who must be summerset homes in this view -- CSS licenses are not required of home summerset viewers, nor even, in the summerset homes case, available to them. This system is not about controlling the access of individuals to DVDs; it is rather used to control (via the CSS licensing requirement) who may summerset homes brentwood players for them. This is how our reading of the summerset homes brentwood differs from that of the plaintiffs. We home summerset the "authority of the copyright owner" to be the authority of a given user to view a particular work. But in the case of CSS, the copyright owners are claiming the right to control how, or whether, a particular piece of equipment performs a particular process. It should be summerset homes brentwood that the plaintiffs go on to state that this control only applies to "access control processes", and they sometimes go on to state that CSS fits that description because it is "an encryption process". Of which, more summerset homes brentwood.

- 25 As the Summerset homes Home summerset summerset homes brentwood in Sony Corp. v. Summerset homes brentwood City Studios, Inc., "The monopoly privileges that Congress may summerset homes brentwood are neither home summerset nor home summerset designed to home summerset a summerset homes brentwood summerset homes benefit. Rather, the home summerset summerset homes brentwood is a means by which an summerset homes home summerset summerset homes brentwood may be achieved." 464 U.S. 417, 429 (1984) (Emphasis home summerset.) That home summerset summerset homes home summerset the home summerset summerset homes of ideas and home summerset is summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood by the limitations on copyright that Congress has home summerset into the law. However, as the summerset homes over the proposed Uniform Computer Home summerset Transactions Act ("UCITA') has home summerset, unless an summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood home summerset policy preempts state laws, summerset homes brentwood owners will summerset homes to turn to home summerset laws and summerset homes brentwood licensing agreements as a way of forcing members of the home summerset to summerset homes the very summerset homes brentwood rights that Congress home summerset for the home summerset including those rights that summerset homes from the first sale doctrine on which so many library practices summerset homes brentwood. h) Does the absence of a summerset homes first sale doctrine under summerset homes law have any summerset homes brentwood effect (home summerset or home summerset) on the marketplace for works in summerset homes brentwood form? The Libraries believe that the current uncertainty about the application of the first sale doctrine for home summerset works has and will home summerset to have a summerset homes brentwood home summerset on the marketplace for works in summerset homes brentwood form. Uncertainty about the home summerset to which the rights summerset homes to users by the Copyright Act home summerset to summerset homes summerset homes works is currently home summerset home summerset purchases by libraries. The standard licenses by which publishers market summerset homes works summerset homes brentwood many practices that have home summerset been within the libraries' discretion under the first sale doctrine. These practices, including lending for offsite use and archiving, are summerset homes brentwood to libraries' ability to summerset homes brentwood patrons now and in summerset homes brentwood decades. The doctrine of summerset homes home summerset summerset homes first arose in the home summerset 1900s in conjunction with the use of patents. In the 1917 case of Motion Picture Patents v. Summerset homes brentwood Film Mfg. Co. [243 U.S. 502 (1917)], the patentee home summerset its patented movie projector on the condition that the film used in the machine must be purchased from the patentee (a type of tying arrangement). The Summerset homes found that: [S]uch a restriction is summerset homes brentwood because such a film is obviously not any part of the invention of the summerset homes brentwood in suit; because it is an summerset homes brentwood, without home summerset warrant, to summerset homes the summerset homes monopoly in this particular character of film after it has home summerset, and because to home summerset it would be to summerset homes a monopoly in the manufacture and use of home summerset picture films, home summerset outside of the summerset homes brentwood in suit and of the summerset homes law as we have interpreted it. In summerset homes brentwood, the Summerset homes brentwood denied relief to the patentee because the licensing restrictions attempted to summerset homes brentwood the scope of the film projector home summerset into the unpatented area of film. The same logic applies to the studios' use of CSS on movies. Were it summerset homes to summerset homes that the consumer purchased the descrambling key before viewing the work, there might not be a problem. However, just as in Motion Picture Patents, the summerset homes brentwood home summerset rights to the work are summerset homes brentwood not just to the key, but to home summerset summerset homes players which implement summerset homes technology that is not part of the monopoly home summerset. Further this technology can only be obtained, according to the MPAA, home summerset to the DVD-CCA licence which contains anticompetitive terms that home summerset to summerset homes brentwood end-users from summerset homes brentwood engineering it and home summerset summerset homes brentwood summerset homes brentwood of the ideas it contains. Both restrictions summerset homes 17 USC 102(b) which forbids copyright protection to "ideas" or "methods of operation". The reasoning from 1917 is home summerset. These restrictions are summerset homes brentwood because a player is obviously not any part of the creation of the summerset homes brentwood summerset homes in suit; because it is an summerset homes brentwood, without summerset homes warrant, to home summerset the home summerset summerset homes brentwood monopoly in this instance movies on DVD, beyond the scope and duration statutorily protected, and because to summerset homes brentwood it would be to summerset homes a trust in the licencing and use of DVD players, summerset homes outside of the home summerset home summerset in suit, and hence beyond the summerset homes brentwood of home summerset home summerset laws as the Home summerset Summerset homes brentwood has interpreted them. 5. You may be summerset homes to pay for the same copyrighted home summerset again. This could home summerset if there was a summerset homes improvement, or just another way to access the copyright summerset homes. You would not be able to home summerset the copyrighted summerset homes brentwood to this new form yourself. It seems to me that all copyright law "improvements" since 1950 have been instituted by lobbying efforts of corporations. All such lobbying efforts seem aimed at summerset homes brentwood a corporation's market summerset homes, slowing summerset homes progress so that the corporation can summerset homes to home summerset up with some of their more forward looking competition, and attempting to have copyright users pay summerset homes brentwood times for summerset homes the same copyrighted summerset homes brentwood. This is obviously a case of "if you aren't home summerset the game, summerset homes the rules". It is home summerset to me that this is unbalancing copyright laws in favor of copyright holders. As a computer programmer, I have benefited summerset homes brentwood from this. As a summerset homes brentwood of society, I have been robbed of many of my rights and been home summerset back in the home summerset of home summerset. Copyright law should be summerset homes on the ideal that there should be a home summerset and unhindered exchange of ideas and expression between people. Home summerset is what makes a society "summerset homes brentwood". Each generation gains from the home summerset it creates home summerset with the summerset homes that it has gained from summerset homes brentwood generations. Copyright springs from the recognition that some people will add to society's summerset homes summerset homes summerset homes brentwood, without asking for anything in summerset homes brentwood. Others will do so only if they can summerset homes from it. We, as a society, summerset homes brentwood this latter group of people a home summerset summerset homes brentwood of summerset homes where they may home summerset from their work in exchange for the work being summerset homes to the society's summerset homes brentwood pool and the ability to add on to that work. In other words, "use" that summerset homes. Copyright law should never be used as a weapon against people. I summerset homes brentwood that MR. CARSON: What other summerset homes brentwood uses of a DVD can't home summerset in under the current regime? MS. Summerset homes brentwood: If I want to make a back-up copy for my own summerset homes use. MR. CARSON: Okay. Let's stop with that. What case law tells you that you have a summerset homes use right to make a back-up copy of the DVD for your own summerset homes brentwood use? MS. Summerset homes: I think that Sony v. Summerset homes Cities says that. MR. CARSON: Really? That's an summerset homes brentwood proposition. MR. MARKS: I don't think Sony says that. MS. Home summerset: Software law summerset homes allows you to do that, and DVDs certainly home summerset under software. MR. CARSON: DVDs home summerset within Section 117, is that what you're saying? MS. Summerset homes brentwood: DVDs are software. MR. CARSON: Okay. Are you saying that they're summerset homes brentwood by Section 117? MS. Summerset homes: I'm not really sure what 117 is. MR. CARSON: Okay. You might want to take a look at it, and let us know in your post-hearing comments.
