Washington, D.C. 20559-6000 Re: Docket No. RM 2002-4 Exemption to Prohibition on Circumvention of Copyright Protection Systems for Access Control Technologies Dear Mr. Carson: Thank you for your letter of June 24, 2003 raising additional questions related to my May 14, 2003 testimony in the above-captioned proceeding. I have set forth my answers below, and then turn to the issues you noted were left open from my testimony. I should note at the outset, however, that because the Office’s questions were very detailed, my answers are very detailed. Thus, there is a risk of losing perspective. I caution the Office not to fall into that trap. As explained in my testimony and further explained below, the fact is that record companies have commercially distributed in the U.S. a miniscule number of CDs with technological protection measures (“TPMs”) – some 0.05% of the CDs shipped from calendar year 2001 to date (the period during which TPMs have been used on U.S. commercial releases). 1 That tiny number cannot be said to have had any material effect to date – and certainly not a substantial one – on the ability of users to make noninfringing uses of sound recordings. The proponents of the exemptions do not seriously suggest otherwise. Instead, their cases are based on an asserted fear of future harm because record companies have not forsworn the possibility of using protective technologies, which 1 Our calculations are based on manufacturers’ unit shipments for calendar years 2001 and 2002 and estimated half-year data for 2003.

  • CVAN Open Letter to the Secretary of State for Education
    Press Release: Wednesday 12 May 2021 Leading UK contemporary visual arts institutions and art schools unite against proposed government cuts to arts education ● Directors of BALTIC, Hayward Gallery, MiMA, Serpentine, Tate, The Slade, Central St. Martin’s and Goldsmiths among over 300 signatories of open letter to Education Secretary Gavin Williamson opposing 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects in higher education ● The letter is part of the nationwide #ArtIsEssential campaign to demonstrate the essential value of the visual arts This morning, the UK’s Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN) have brought together leaders from across the visual arts sector including arts institutions, art schools, galleries and universities across the country, to issue an open letter to Gavin Williamson, the Secretary of State for Education asking him to revoke his proposed 50% cuts in subsidy support to arts subjects across higher education. Following the closure of the consultation on this proposed move on Thursday 6th May, the Government has until mid-June to come to a decision on the future of funding for the arts in higher education – and the sector aims to remind them not only of the critical value of the arts to the UK’s economy, but the essential role they play in the long term cultural infrastructure, creative ambition and wellbeing of the nation. Working in partnership with the UK’s Visual Arts Alliance (VAA) and London Art School Alliance (LASA) to galvanise the sector in their united response, the CVAN’s open letter emphasises that art is essential to the growth of the country.

Some Thoughts on… Far from the Madding Crowd and its Adaptations 1 Some Thoughts on… Far from the Madding Crowd and its Adaptations Quelques réflexions sur… Far from the Madding Crowd et ses adaptations Laurence Estanove Introduction: “Bringing Shepherd Back” 1 In the whole of Hardy’s work, Far from the Madding Crowd is probably, today, the novel that has entailed the most numerous adaptations, or at least adaptations of the most various kinds. The multiplication of those in very recent years may naturally be said to testify to the modernity of Hardy’s writing. But one might also wonder what attracted a variety of artistic practices in that particular novel of Hardy’s, while others, such as Tess, have enjoyed a greater popularity yet generated a more restricted number of adaptations. To this day, four filmmakers as well as one cartoonist and one opera composer have made Hardy’s fourth novel their own.

A celebration of life, art and exhibition This year Penrith Regional Gallery & The Lewers Bequest celebrates 75 years of art practice and exhibition on this site. In 1942, Gerald Lewers purchased this property to use as an occasional residence while working nearby as manager of quarrying company Farley and Lewers. A decade later, the property became the family home of Gerald and Margo Lewers and their two daughters, Darani and Tanya. It was here the family pursued their individual practices as artists and welcomed many Sydney artists, architects, writers and intellectuals. At this site in Western Sydney, modernist thinking and art practice was nurtured and flourished. Upon the passing of Margo Lewers in 1978, the daughters of Margo and Gerald Lewers sought to honour their mother’s wish that the house and garden at Emu Plains be gifted to the people of Penrith along with artworks which today form the basis of the Gallery’s collection. Received by Penrith City Council in 1980, the Neville Wran led state government supported the gift with additional funds to create a purpose built gallery on site. Opened in 1981, the gallery supports a seasonal exhibition, education and public program.
