Beverly Dr. Ste. 400 UC Irvine School of Law Beverly Hills, CA 90212 401 E. Peltason Dr. Irvine, CA 92697 October 15, 2015 Maria Pallante, Register of Copyrights c/o Jacqueline C. Charlesworth, Associate Register of Copyrights United States Copyright Office 101 Independence Ave. S.E. Washington, D.C. 20559 Re: Docket No. 2014-7 Exemptions to Prohibition Against Circumvention of Technological Measures Protecting Copyrighted Works Proposed Class 6 - Audiovisual works – derivative uses – filmmaking uses Dear Ms. Pallante, We write to call your attention to recent news stories attached to this letter reporting the importance of fair use in the upcoming Universal Pictures narrative film Steve Jobs. We believe these reports underscore the hollowness of arguments made in this proceeding that question the need for fair use in narrative filmmaking.1 As these stories demonstrate, even large studios must rely on fair use in narrative films and such use enjoys the strong support of executives at the highest levels. Of course, the iconic Apple commercial at issue here is widely available on the internet, but for more obscure material, often the only source of usable footage is protected by technological protection measures. In such situations, copyright law and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act operate as a form of private censorship allowing a rightsholder to suppress speech it opposes—as almost happened here. We deeply appreciate your consideration of this matter. We hope this new information will be helpful to you as you make your final recommendations in this rulemaking.
