The office, a division of the Library of Congress, invited comments through Aug. 22 on an upcoming Web service for prospective copyright owners that may launch with support for only limited browsers.

"At this point in the process of developing the Copyright Office's system for online preregistration, it is not entirely clear whether the system will be compatible with Web browsers other than Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.1 and higher," the office said in its notice. "In order to ensure that preregistration can be implemented in a smoothly functioning and timely manner, the office now seeks comments that will assist it in determining whether any eligible parties will be prevented from preregistering a claim due to browser requirements of the preregistration system."

The copyright  office would like to have comments on this.  
You can find out how to submit your comments by reading their docket.

They say they will eventually support other browsers eventually, but never opera or safari, because the software vendor doesn't see the demand.  Of course... if they wrote it to STANDARDS in the first place....

Lead Head:

Then you musn't really dislike microsoft. If you aren't actually willing to exert more than the most basic of eneriges towards something, how can you even pretend that it actually matters to you?

Lead Head:
I'll mess something up and send it to the wrong person thats why
