      ab: The article provides an overview of the requested exceptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) anti-circumvention rules in the U.S., particularly those of interest to computer professionals. Topics discussed include key DMCA provisions that make it illegal to circumvent technical protection measures (TPM), the aim of the proposed exceptions to enable interoperability with devices or software that the anti-circumvention rules makes illegal, and the adverse impact of the anti-circumvention rules on reverse engineering. Also mentioned are the special exceptions requested by computer researchers Steve Bellovin, Matt Blaze, and Ed Felten.
