User:Dreamyshade/Anti-circumvention article project

Let's improve articles that explain anti-circumvention laws: get them closer to being up to date, complete, clear to non-specialist readers, and well-sourced.

I've included some potential references as footnotes on these notes. Also feel free to add to this list of tasks!

Articles that need work
Outdated: Incomplete: Other problems: Useful for reference:
 * Digital Millennium Copyright Act
 * Top priority task: Previous exemptions - update with summaries of the 2012 and 2015 exemptions. Could use the Federal Register as main source, plus news articles: 2012, 2015.
 * Criticisms - expand with other criticisms.
 * Reform and opposition - check for non-neutral, non-verifiable, and outdated statements. Add or improve sources for the remaining statements. Opinion pieces: 2015.
 * Title I: WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implemention Act - note the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.
 * The Unlocking Technology Act of 2013 - explain its relationship to Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.
 * iOS jailbreaking#United States and IOS - update with a summary of the relevant 2015 exemptions.
 * Rooting (Android OS) - this is basically a copy of the iOS jailbreaking list, so update it with the relevant 2015 exemptions. Alternatively, evaluate whether it makes sense to maintain these two separate lists or to merge them and cross-link in some way.
 * Hacking of consumer electronics - fix inaccurate statements, update for 2015 exemptions, and expand.
 * Trans-Pacific Partnership - improve integration of recent news update and add references.
 * Trans-Pacific Partnership intellectual property provisions - check anti-circumvention parts of this article and make sure they're up to date and easy to understand.
 * Anti-circumvention and Digital rights management - these two articles contain similar lists of laws, so evaluate whether they should be merged or cross-linked in some way. Also expand them to cover the laws of many more countries, possibly including an updated version of the list below. That list below is based on iOS jailbreaking#Legal status, which includes some useful references.
 * Copyright Directive - this only lists a few countries, so expand it (or link to a suitable list in another article).
 * PlayStation Jailbreak - find some decent sources for this and rewrite this incomplete section based on those sources. (The rest of the article needs rewriting based on sources too.) On George Hotz, copyedit its PlayStation section and add a link to the PlayStation Jailbreak article.
 * WIPO Copyright Treaty - add references and expand descriptions of reception of the treaty.
 * iFixit - add information about DMCA reform advocacy.
 * Derek Khanna - fix neutral point of view and conflict of interest issues.
 * List of parties to international treaties protecting rights related to copyright
 * List of parties to international copyright agreements
