Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA 1201) makes it illegal to get around any sort of lock that controls access to copyrighted material. Every three years, we visit the U.S. copyright office to request exemptions for these prohibitions.

At the 2018 DMCA 1201 exemption hearings, Cory Doctorow spoke with a group of advocates for "Class 1" exemptions, to use audiovisual works for criticism or commentary, including Jack Lerner, UCI Law School; Betsy Rosenblatt, Whittier Law School; Tisha Turk, University of Minnesota Morris; and Art Neill, Director, New Media Rights.
