DMCA Ruling soon?

[applejosh]

I haven't heard any rumblings about the jailbreak ruling in a little while. I saw the temporary extension on the government site, but that was back from October. I didn't know if a ruling on the EFF's request had been made or was expected soon. Any ideas?

can you reference what case you're talking about and exactly what "government site" you went to?

It's the DMCA exemption rulemaking doohickey that happens every three years as outlined in the DMCA (section 1201?). Not really a legal court case.

Here's the link to the EFF exemption requests.

And the last thing published by the government (which was just an interim continuation thing for the 2006 rulings as far as I can tell).
