The LOC basically said that enough evidence has accumulated (after 12 years!) of both the negative effects of the DMCA and that fair use circumvention hasn’t, after all, destroyed the market for DVD sales (shock!).

I wonder whether these exceptions came about because the big media companies simply didn’t show up and didn’t think they needed to do anything, or whether they did (and if they did, how much of a fight such provisions received, &/or whether some were yielded without a fight)? In other words, I’m trying to work out whether a bunch of forces caught the beast while it was sleeping, whether the beast suffered a defeat, or whether the beast might’ve got a little bit nicer. Do you know which is the case?
