Blank watchmen meme of Dr. Manhattan going through time and things staying the same. Blank because I am lazy.

Adding that the Librarian actually agreed with NTIA in 2024 on the need for reform. Unfortunately she was fired by the current Administration...
Copyright is but one piece in a
national framework for ensuring the
security, trustworthiness, and reliability
of embedded software, and other
copyright-protected technology that
affects our daily lives. Issues such as
these extend beyond the reach of 1201
and may require a broader solution, as
noted by the NTIA.
The Librarian fully supports the
Register in her examination of these
issues and urges Congress to work with
the Copyright Office and other federal
agencies to consider these issues beyond
the contours of this 1201 rulemaking.

The 2020 and 2016 letters also call for reforms to the process. See below from 2016.
We also remain concerned that the process can be inefficient and problematic for petitioners seeking exemptions that have been previously granted. INTIA would welcome the opportunity to discuss possible further enhancements to the rulemaking process once this proceeding is complete.

In 2024, NTIA's letter basically says that the rulemaking process doesn't work anymore.
Limitations of the Rulemaking Process
Upon reflecting on the evolution of the rulemaking and the role of technology in society since
the first triennial rulemaking in 2000, we conclude that the rulemaking process itself may no
longer be adequately tailored to balance the interests of rights holders and people seeking to
make non-infringing uses of copyrighted works who are adversely affected by the prohibition
against circumvention in Section 1201.

Is this a butterfly meme (a man with glasses pointing at a butterfly) with the caption "Is this Ideological Neutrality"
