Comment'[3]' is a hyperlink to
https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/profile/create?gid=439&reset=1, where you can
see the text of FSF's proposed filing with U.S. Copyright Office, which
indeed is a comment that DMCA anti-circumvention provisions should be
repealed, and the triennial process to enact exemptions (to the
prohibition against circumvention of technological measures that control
access to copyrighted works) ended.

Anyone else see the fatal problem? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?


U.S. Copyright Office has delegated authority to pass _regulations_
permitting exceptions to anti-circumvention law because Congress told it
to do that -- that power and responsibility having been enacted by the
DMCA.[1]

DMCA was an example of _enabling legislation_ (aka primary law).

Federal Executive Branch agencies and departments get empowered by
enabling legislation to pass _regulations_ within the confines of what
Congress permits them to do. Copyright Office's anti-circumvention
rule-findings are thus regulatory law.

The point: FSF's comment asks Copyright Office to revise enabling
legislation. They can't. They have no authority to do so. Congress
does.


Sadly, this has the effect of making the FSF Licensing Team look a bit
foolish. Petitioning _Congress_ to end these proceedings would be at
least asking in the correct place.


[1] 17 U.S.C. 1201. Primary law gets recorded in the United States Code
('U.S.C.'). Regulatory law gets recorded in the Code of Federal
Regulations ('C.F.R.'). The latter is subordinate to the former.
