Comment on the Copyright Office's Notice of Inqurity

I am opposed to DMCA because it undermines fair use, reverse engineering, and other rights.

Moreover, the proponents of this "anti-freedom" law are selfishly concerned only with their monetary interests, which are protected at the expense of others rights under DMCA.

Finally, it is inapproprate for the Copyright Office to protect these greedy interests at the expense of our vital reverse engineering, research, security, fair use and other rights. In doing so, the Copyright Office would be implicitly accepting the proponents position of content control and undue exclusivity. This would result in irreparable harm to innovation and original research. Is it not the purpose of copyright law to protect these vital interests, which are common to all of us? Please, do not sell out american rights to the highest bidder.

Sincerely,

Michael L. Love
