EFF Kicks Off Campaign to Free Your PhoneEFF Kicks Off Campaign to Free Your Phone
[Announcements] Posted Jan 15, 2009 21:39 UTC (Thu) by cook
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has announced a launch of the FreeYourPhone.org campaign. "Hundreds of thousands of cell phone owners have modified their phones to connect to a new service provider or run the software of their choosing, and many more would like to. But the threat of litigation under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has driven them underground. The DMCA prohibits "circumventing" technical protection measures used to protect copyrighted works. But many cell phone manufacturers and service providers build these software locks to protect their business models instead of copyrighted material."
