The copyright Office of the Library of Congress concerning non-infringing uses as defined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Provisions of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. 1201(a) are interpreted such that rights of fair use are restricted, and lend themselves to censorship of information that does not infringe upon an author's copyright. It is legal for one to copy a video tape or DVD for one's own use, even when the copyrighted material on the tape is not that person's legal property. The individual has paid for the product and is entitled to do with it what he pleases aside from illegally copying the work for sale or distribution. Existing laws already make copying media without permission unlawful, and no further protection is needed, unless it can be done with absolutely no interference with a user’s right to play back and make archival backup copies of the media.
