Copyright and the law!

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/drm...one,10944.html

Quote:
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) got a big revision today that will likely change the way that users may lawfully use and enjoy the products and media that they own.

Today the Librarian of Congress announced DMCA Section 1201, which adds six provisions whereby "persons who circumvent access controls in order to engage in noninfringing uses of works in these six classes will not be subject to the statutory prohibition against circumvention."

Essentially, it comes down to this:

1.People may now rip DVDs
to show clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos.
2.People may now legally jailbreak their iPhones and root their Android phones without fear that a corporation will rain down upon them.
3.People may now legally unlock their cell phones.
(These first three are mostly the result of lobbying from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.)
4.People may now circumvent the copy protection of PC and video games for investigative reasons. This should be a great thing for PC gamers sick of dealing with the DRM of the games they legally purchased.
5.People may now get past software
that's protected by an outdated hardware dongle.
6.People may now break past ebooks that don't allow the text to be read aloud.

Some of the new revisions are really good news for consumers, IMHO.

Remember though the revisions aren't solidified until they've been upheld by our friends in the Supreme Court.

He's finishing his sentence for using Linux -- once they fit him with a monitoring bracelet, they'll let him out of the Redmond jail...

So, does this mean I can delete the onboard apps and ringtones that came with my phone?
I always hated that.

You will still have to 'hack' it but I'm guessing it's now legal to do so.

Nope. They can still preload all the junk they want just as they can do on PCs only it's not so easy to remove it from a phone.
