Free Range Librarian: U.S. Copyright Office to One out of Five Users: Drop Dead

From K.G. Schneider: Free Range Librarian: U.S. Copyright Office to One out of Five Users: Drop Dead:

The U.S. Copyright Office wants to know if it's ok if its copyright preregistration form should be browser-specific. "Today's notice seeks information as to whether persons filing the electronic-only preregistration form prescribed by the Copyright Office will experience difficulties if it is necessary to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser in order to preregister a work." ...
Yes, Internet Explorer is still the predominant browser (just as Netscape was, ten years ago). But we have a significant number of users who either prefer to use other browsers, need to use other browsers, or don't see why the government should be sidestepping international standards for code development to create a damn form.
