COMMENT OF SOFTWARE PRESERVATION NETWORK AND LIBRARY COPYRIGHT ALLIANCE  FOR EXEMPTION TO PROHIBITION ON CIRCUMVENTION OF COPYRIGHT PROTECTION SYSTEMS FOR ACCESS CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES | DMCA Anti-Circumvention Exemption Request | December 2017 | The Cyberlaw Clinic submitted a comment on behalf of the Software Preservation Network and Library Copyright Alliance seeking an exemption to the prohibitions on circumvention set forth in Section 1201 of the Copyright Act. 

The requested exemption would allow libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions to circumvent technological protection measures on lawfully acquired computer programs for the purposes of preserving computer programs and computer program-dependent materials.
