As required by Section 403 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Copyright Office is now establishing parameters for its study of the
issues. Through this preliminary notice, the Office seeks to identify
all interested parties and determine what matters those parties deem
relevant and important. The Office anticipates the possibility of
consultations and public meetings as well as the submission of formal
statements. At this time, the Copyright Office is soliciting only the
identification of any and all potentially interested parties and an
identification of the issues with which they may be concerned. Comments
