A more thorough explanation:

The WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act is a law that was added to the Copyright Act in 1998. It was created to implement the WIPO Copyright Treaty that the United States had recently signed. This law addresses the protection of copyrighted works and management systems in the digital age.

Section 1201 of the WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act makes it illegal to traffic in circumvention devices or provide a circumvention service.

For example, it is illegal to sell a device that can remove the copy protection from a DVD or Blu-ray disc.

Section 1202 of the WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act makes it illegal to provide false copyright management information or to remove or alter existing copyright management information.

There are some exceptions to the trafficking provisions of the WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act. For example, it is legal to circumvent digital rights management systems for the purpose of conducting encryption research, security testing, or reverse engineering. Additionally, the Library of Congress conducts triennial rulemaking to exempt certain classes of copyrighted works from the trafficking provisions.

Overall, the WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act is an important law that helps protect copyrighted works in the digital age. It ensures that copyright owners have control over their works and that users cannot easily bypass digital rights management systems to infringe on these rights.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."
imagine if it was like Berkley applications

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
getting lunch no one say anything funny or do anything cool for 15 mins
