US Customers Can Unlock Their Handsets

Now the US copyright office
has granted cellphone users an exemption from the US DMCA legislation that allows customers to remove software locks on their legally purchased handsets, as:[T]he Copyright Office determined that consumers aren't able to enjoy full legal use of their handsets because of software locks that wireless providers have been placing to control access to phones' underlying programs.Which means that people who have partially disabled or function-reduced handsets can now have the full functionality restored, without fear of prosecution, fines or being sent to jail.
