Moreover, I'm almost entirely sure section 109 does not apply to anything other than music or computer programs. In the hands of any competent lawyer, a pdf would not be classified as a computer program. From the definitions in the copyright act: A ''computer program'' is a set of statements or instructions to be used directly or indirectly in a computer in order to bring about a certain result.And digital documents are not instructions, so much as data. While pdfs do control the layout to some degree, they cannot bring about a result without additional programs. This probably would remove it from the program catagory. Basically, U.S. law is having problems right now, because the DMCA more or less trumps fair use. People keep having to fight to regain rights...., which oddly enough is one of the two reasons I intend to go into that area of law.</blockquote>
