So this also means that any archival work that was done becomes illegal after the exemption ends? So if somebody did a digital backup of a game under this exhemption, they'd have to delete it? That doesn't sound like a good system...<br>

Correct. The original ruling was in 2000, then the renewal was in 2003 and 2006. But this three-year cycle is really impossible to maintain, because someone needs to track the issue and organize the effort. Inevitably, the interested parties lose track of the issue. It's crazy to have such a short-term renewal cycle.<div class="im">

I -believe- that was a 2006 exemption that no one re-proposed, but I'm not certain.<br>

Certainly point 2 below looks relevant, I'll add it to the groups resources.<br>

2. Computer programs and video games distributed in formats that have become obsolete and that require the original media or hardware as a condition of access, when circumvention is accomplished for the purpose of preservation or archival reproduction of published digital works by a library or archive. A format shall be considered obsolete if the machine or system necessary to render perceptible a work stored in that format is no longer manufactured or is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace.<br>

it's looks like, that the exemption is still valid (until Oct, 27. 2009)?<br>

Dear Rachel,<br>
thanks for the info, which I didn't know. When did that happen? Does anyone know why? And what is the schedule for the next round of DMCA evaluation after the hearings will have started in May?<br>
While the US law is not directly relevant for us in Germany, I could use this DMCA exeption as a good reference for our local law making process.<br>
Andreas<br>
