Companies that want to lock down our devices argue that, because the firmware running on your phone or tablet is copyrighted, jailbreaking your device to run a modified version runs afoul of laws meant to prop up DRM. But there's a safety valve: the Librarian of Congress can make exemptions to those laws through a complicated rulemaking process. So every three years, groups like EFF have to make the case for specific carve-outs, like jailbreaking phones and tablets.

We've gotten jailbreaking exemptions in the past, but there's no guarantee of success this year. That's where you come in: lend your voice to our submission, and we can tell the Librarian of Congress that thousands of regular users want to preserve their rights as device owners. Join us in making it clear: jailbreaking is not a crime.
