Update: Joe sez, " LOC has posted all these orphan works comments in locked PDFs that don't allow copying and pasting of the text? Seems a little silly as the reply commentors will not be able to quote the comments easily… is the LOC going copyright-paranoid?"
Update 2: A different Joe sez, "all email comments submitted to the LoC's notice of inquiry on orphaned works weren't properly redacted. That is, they simply drew white boxes over sensitive information instead of leaving it out of the documents entirely."
