“Dear Congress, Please remove these items from your DMCA contraband list (both for developing the technology, selling and using the technology): Technology for unlocking and jail-breaking (currently allowed for iPhone, not allowed for iPad); Adaptability technology for the blind to have e-books aloud (currently subject to triennial review by the Librarian of Congress – it’s legal to use the technology but illegal to develop or sell); Technology to back-up our own DVD’s and Blu-Ray discs for personal use (current law makes this illegal and injunctions have even been used to shut down websites discussing this technology). Signed, The people.”
