# Jailbreaking and DCMA---EFF Touts Victory, FSF Warns Of Failure
|
|
|
|
While the [EFF is pleased to announce][0] that the Copyright Office has [renewed
|
|
DMCA exceptions upholding jailbreaking rights for cellphones][1], the FSF
|
|
cautions that [this right has not been extended to tablets, game consoles or
|
|
even PCs with restricted boot][2].

It should be noted that the EFF also successfully gained protection for the use
|
|
of short copyrighted clips in remixing,[0] and while this is a positive step
|
|
forward in its own, the implications of the first paragraph should not be
|
|
ignored.
