Audiovisual works as follows: foreign-language audiovisual
works not available for sale in the United States but available
for purchase outside the US on DVDs that are regionally
encoded to prevent playback on DVD players purchased in
the United States.
The exemption requested is to permit circumvention of
the region coding mechanism. |

Works for which those filing comments seek exemptions limiting
a copyright owner’s ability to control conditions
of access to the work once a consumer has obtained initial
lawful access or purchased a physical copy, including:
(1) works for which those filing comments seek exemptions
to allow the work to be used on platforms other than those
designed for the format in which the consumer chose to
purchase the work;
(2) works for which those filing comments seek exemptions
to allow circumvention in order to gain access to bonus
content available only in a particular format or to circumvent
regional coding. |
