Dmca Copyright Act… And Unlocking Cell Phones?
July 11th, 2009 at 04:23am Under copyright act
I know that the DMCA Copyright Act exempts the acts of unlocking cell phones until Nov. 2009.
What about the unlocked cell phones that manufacturers make and sell? For example, TigerDirect sells unlocked cell phones but does not unlock them. Does this Copyright Act apply to them next year, and they will no longer be able to sell unlocked phones?
Or does this Act solely apply to the act of unlocking locked cell phones…?
Thanks!
