After the mess of the last triennial §1201 DMCA exemption (unlocking exemption was removed, causing a kerfuffle), a coalition of organizations rallied around this year and petitioned for a whole host of important exemptions.
These are the opposition comments - its fascinating to see content creators and equipment manufacturers come out and argue for why people shouldn't be able to use and modify the devices/content they've purchased.
