1月26日開始 美智慧手機越獄違法

26日開始,購買新智慧手機的美國消費者不自由。根據美國國會圖書館的最新規定,未經電信公司許可,逕自把手機解鎖(unlock)或越獄 (JB)屬違法行為。

新規定只適用於26日以後購買的鎖碼手機。這意味在這一天之前購買的手機,仍可不經電信業者許可而「破解」。美國國會圖書館現在認定,手機上的軟體只是授權給消費者使用,消費者並無所有權,因此不受「公平使用」規定的保障。

美國國會於1998年通過「數位千禧年版權法案」,規定擅用有版權的內容及侵犯管理科技的數位權,屬於非法行為。手機鎖碼使其只能使用某一個電信公司的軟體,受到此法的保障,而「破解」的目的,正是要打破此種軟體的限制,讓手機獲得「自由」,得以使用其他電信網路。

國會圖書館有權豁免限制,智慧手機解鎖早先即在豁免之列,不算違法,但去年10月28日生效的豁免清單改變,把它剔除。不過,新規定有90天寬限期,本月26日才正式生效執行。

有一個辦法可以規避新規定:用全額向電信業者買一支不綁約的已解碼手機,但這樣做將使消費者多花數百美元。業者向願意綁約的消費者提供很大的手機折扣 (通常綁約兩年),藉以招徠顧客,然後從語音和數據傳輸服務月費把錢再賺回來。

大力遊說維持豁免的團體辯稱,把「解鎖」視為違法,違背競爭精神,將導致手機價格更貴,而且會製造更多電子垃圾。

Library of Congress Rules Jailbreaking iPads and Unlocking New iPhones Illegal


 

 

為什麼JB會是美國國會圖書館在管呢?Undecided不過這條規定只管得到美國,臺灣還是卯起來JB。

會不會又是馬鹿記者翻譯錯誤?看錯?

The U.S. Library of Congress has ruled that jailbreaking the iPad and unlocking iPhones purchased after January 2013 is no longer legal.

Jailbreaking iPhones is still allowed under exemptions to the DMCA that will be in effect for three years.

Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute lawfully obtained software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications with computer programs on the telephone handset.

This exemption is a modification of the proponents’ proposal. It permits the circumvention of computer programs on mobile phones to enable interoperability of non-vendor- approved software applications (often referred to as “jailbreaking”), but does not apply to tablets – as had been requested by proponents – because the record did not support it.

Unlocking
In addition the new exemptions only allow for phones you already have, as well as those purchased before January, to be unlocked. Phones purchased after January 2013 can only be unlocked with the carrier's permission.

Computer programs, in the form of firmware or software, that enable a wireless telephone handset originally acquired from the operator of a wireless telecommunications network or retailer no later than ninety days after the effective date of this exemption to connect to a different wireless telecommunications network, if the operator of the wireless communications network to which the handset is locked has failed to unlock it within a reasonable period of time following a request by the owner of the wireless telephone handset, and when circumvention is initiated by the owner, an individual consumer, who is also the owner of the copy of the computer program in such wireless telephone handset, solely in order to connect to a different wireless telecommunications network, and such access to the network is authorized by the operator of the network.

This exemption is a modification of the proponents’ proposal. It permits the circumvention of computer programs on mobile phones to enable such mobile phones to connect to alternative networks (often referred to as “unlocking”), but with limited applicability. In order to align the exemption to current market realities, it applies only to mobile phones acquired prior to the effective date of the exemption or within 90 days thereafter.

PS3/Game Consoles
The Library of Congress rejected a proposed exemption that would allow for jailbreaking of game consoles.

Because the Register determined that the evidentiary record failed to support a finding that the inability to circumvent access controls on video game consoles has, or over the course of the next three years likely would have, a substantial adverse impact on the ability to make noninfringing uses, the Register declined to recommend the proposed class.


This is quite unfortunate news for those in the jailbreak and unlocking community. We'll keep you update with any more developments.

英文連結補上了,但主要媒體都沒報,真實性尚待確認。

我搜尋加上雙引號的「"Library of Congress" ipad」可以找到不少英文網頁,反正只是新聞,就給他copy過來!不要大量copy,應該是不會被告!Laughing


 

There is a great resource offered by the Library of Congress that allows anyone – no account or fee required – to access primary sources scanned by the Library. What’s great about these resources is that they are available on the web in PDF formats. Students navigate to the website, find the source they want, and on an iPad, can use the “open in” option to import into a variety of applications. I suggest using Notability.

Once the students have the document in their Notability app, they can edit the primary source. Not only is this a great site for teaching students about primary sources, but it is loaded with resources that are accessible directly on the iPad.  Also, each primary source set comes with a teacher’s guide in PDF form. This allows teachers to open these guides directly on their iPad in iBooks, Google Drive, etc.

Below is a short video on how you can get started using the Library of Congress resources with the iPad.
