Unless some exceptions are created, they argue, the entertainment industry will have more control than the Constitution allows. One concern is that this could lead to a pay-per-use world where consumers don't truly own the books, movies and music they purchase.

But because Congress feared the potentially adverse effects of giving copyright owners lock-and-key rights to their works, it delayed the effective implementation date of this portion of the DMCA by two years and mandated a study period by the librarian of Congress and the Copyright Office. The two years are up, and on Oct. 28, the librarian of Congress will announce new rules governing the access provisions of the DMCA. The new rules could carve out exceptions to the access provisions for certain classes of copyrighted works. These exceptions would only occur if the librarian of Congress determines that the public's ability to make non- infringing uses of those works has been adversely affected. "The future of fair use and other traditional copyright defenses will be determined, in significant part, by the outcome of the current rule-making," wrote law professor Peter Jaszi, who wrote on behalf of the Digital Future Coalition, an online civil liberties organization composed of nonprofits and Internet companies.
