But these are just temporary exclusions that needs to be renewed every three years, right?
Can someone explain why three years? It feels like it is not even worth the risk of "breaking" the laws in 4 years not knowing if they're renewed or has been revoked.
- saagarjha 8y agoI think the rule has been changed so that exemptions continue to stay in effect unless something significant changes and an argument can be made the the exemption may have been made in error.
- saurik 8y agoThey actually (mostly) fixed this recently (in no small part due to being beaten down pretty hard by iFixIt a few years ago filing a crazy number of new exemption requests ;P). Now existing exemptions have a streamlined renewal process where the opposition needs to demonstrate that there was an important shift in the underlying evidence during that time. https://clinic.cyber.harvard.edu/2017/10/25/update-on-the-2018-triennial-1201-rule-making/ https://clinic.cyber.harvard.edu/2017/10/25/update-on-the-20... https://www.copyright.gov/1201/1201_streamlined_renewal_transcript.pdf https://www.copyright.gov/1201/1201_streamlined_renewal_tran...
