New copyright rules OK six exemptions
Cell phone owners will be allowed to break software locks on their handsets to use them with competing carriers under new copyright rules announced Wednesday.
Other copyright exemptions approved by the Library of Congress will let film professors copy snippets from DVDs for educational compilations and let blind people use special software to read copy-protected electronic books.
All told, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington approved six exemptions, including one that lets researchers test CD copy-protection technologies for security flaws or vulnerabilities.
