Copyright Office Agrees to Continue DMCA Exemptions for Smart TVs, Medical Devices

October 30, 2017

On Friday the US Copyright Office published a proposed rulemaking to renew all existing exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Activities covered by exemptions cannot be prosecuted as criminal acts under the law. Two exemptions slated for renewal are one proposed by Conservancy to allow people to install new firmware on smart TVs they own; and one advocated by Conservancy executive director Karen Sandler to allow security researchers to evaluate medical devices.
