We appreciate the Task Force’s effort to identify aspects of copyright law that may be under strain due to technological advancements and the rise of the Internet. Because our industry’s success depends on leveraging those very technologies, we regard the Task Force’s work as critically important. We are particularly interested in the Task Force’s inquiry into “the relevance and scope of the first sale doctrine in the digital environment” and the possibility of “establishing a multistakeholder dialogue on improving the operation of the notice and takedown system,” and thus focus these initial comments on those two issues.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms— children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
