CO Extends Existing DMCA S. 1201 Exemptions

The Copyright Office readopted “existing exemptions” under Digital Millennium Copyright Act Section 1201, the agency announced Wednesday with a final rule in its triennial review (see 2010150030). That included a right-to-repair exemption for smartphones and other digital devices. NTIA, in an Oct. 1 letter, recommended expanding right-to-repair exemptions for diagnosis, maintenance and repair of all software-enabled devices.
