<p>We have also <a href="https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jul/30/refile2020/">once again</a>

filed key DMCA exemptions for the following categories:</p>

<ul>

  <li>Computer programs for purposes of good-faith security research</li>

  <li>"jailbreaking" smart TVs</li>

  <li>"jailbreaking" routers</li>

  <li>Literary works consisting of compilations of data generated by medical devices or their personal corresponding monitoring systems, to access personal data</li>

</ul>

<p>These allow people access (that should be granted in the first place!) to

investigate their own devices for issues of license compliance, security,

and replacing the firmware on their TVs and routers. It's a key ability to

vet and replace software on devices we own and operate, so renewing this

exemption each time it comes up is very important for us all. The medical

device exemption was submitted by our Executive Director Karen Sandler in

partnership with others who are personally affected by proprietary medical

technology.</p>
