August 24 is the deadline to submit petitions requesting new exemptions or renewing existing exemptions under Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The petitions are part of the U.S. Copyright Office’s (USCO) tenth Section 1201 triennial rulemaking proceeding, which reviews whether certain activities should be exempt from the Section 1201 prohibition on circumventing technological measures that control access to copyrighted works.
