somewhere near the temporal coordinates of 11/2/03 7:16 AM, the entity known
as DJ Vollkasko transmitted the following from DJ_Vollkasko_at_gmx.net:
> Statement of the Librarian of Congress Relating to Section 1201 Rulemaking
> [...]
>
> I am today issuing a final rule that sets out four classes of works that
> will be subject to exemptions for the next three years from the statute's
> prohibition against circumvention of technology that effectively controls
> access to a copyrighted work. [...] The four classes of works are: [...]
> * Computer programs protected by dongles that prevent access due to
> malfunction or damage and which are obsolete.
> * Computer programs and video games distributed in formats that have
> become obsolete and which require the original media or hardware as a
> condition of access.
