            Important Notice: NewsNet 
              191 linked to a page on the Copyright Office website that contained 
              incorrect email information. The previous NewsNet announced public 
              hearings for the rulemaking on the possible exemptions to the prohibition 
              against circumvention of technological measures that control access 
              to copyrighted works. 
            The email address for submission of requests 
              to testify that was posted on the Copyright Office website prior 
              to 11:00 a.m., E.S.T. on March 19, 2003, was not functioning. The 
              correct email address is 1201@loc.gov 
              and NOT 1201@nt3.loc.gov. Any requests that were sent to 1201@nt3.loc.gov 
              were not received, and anyone who sent such a request must resubmit 
              the request to the correct email address: 1201@loc.gov. 
              The Copyright Office will send an email confirmation of receipt 
              of all email requests to testify that are received by the Office.
