The U.S. Copyright Office today issued its final rule adopting exemptions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which prohibits circumvention of technological protection measures (TPMs) that control access to copyrighted works. The Office engages in such rulemaking every three years. This is the ninth triennial Section 1201 rulemaking since passage of the DMCA in 1998. Notably, the Office denied a request to add “an exemption for the purpose of conducting ‘trustworthiness’ research on AI systems.”
