Not anymore. I wrote abstracts for 15 comments in an hour. Most of those comments are 1 page affairs (often just a couple of lines in support).
I have added twenty more, but do not think I will do more than that. I'll take requests, though. Are there any comments where you feel we should reply?
Were you thinking of putting these into some sort of formal response document? Or, are they just grist for others who might want to write their own comments? I'm trying to work on this today (nothing like the last minute...), and the comments are quite useful. I did not find any specific guidance for how to write responses -- did you? In the past, I've seen guidelines about (a) needing to reference particularly items you are responding to, and (b) some sort of size limitations. - One aspect I'm interested in is creation of derivative works. - Another is for people like us who really, really want to follow the copyright law, but identify all these challenges and vague aspects, and that the public domain has been dramatically shrinking (as a proportion of all available works). - Did you see anyone with a specific plan, like our Rule 9 HOWTO? I think our Rule 9 is relevant, but it's only about section 108(h) -- and there are some broader issues in Title 17 that the copyright office is looking at. *Thanks* for any additional analysis you can provide. I do hope that people are thinking of sending a response, even a brief one. -- Greg
