White House backs ending ban on unlocking cell phones Houston Chronicle Copyright 2013 Houston Chronicle. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Published 10:32 pm, Monday, March 4, 2013 The move comes after the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress removed exemption status for unlocked phones, which means they would violate terms of federal law protecting copyright holders. [...] we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smartphones. Put into effect in 1998, the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act attempts to control consumer access to copyrighted material. The Library of Congress - which oversees copyright law - responded to Monday's White House statement, saying, The rule-making is a technical, legal proceeding and involves a lengthy public process. The decision from the Library of Congress was made against advice from the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, an advisory committee for the president on telecom issues.
