DMCA exemption to jailbreaking smartphones about to expire

In 2010, the Copyright Office said jailbreaking smartphones doesn’t violate the DMCA. This year, we’re asking them to renew that exemption (otherwise it will expire) and expand it to cover tablets. We’re also asking for a new exemption to allow jailbreaking of video game consoles.

Thanks for the linky GG.

I just assumed that it was illegal and that was it! lol

I'm planning, this weekend, to take my original HTC android to the wireless remarket store where I purchased it and paying a few bucks to have them decide if the jailbreak of it and download of Ubu onto it is at all practical. If it is then I will consider the money well spent, and make the attempt myself.
