Yet the software embedded in many consumer electronic products may be subject to copyright protection thus, these devices contain copyrighted content. After all, such products do not, by themselves, fall within the traditional categories of copyrightable subject matter: literary, musical, dramatic, and pictorial works motion pictures and sound recordings. It may seem unusual that copyright law has any application or relevance to consumer electronic products. Thus, consumers with such “locked” cellphones cannot use them on a different service provider’s network once their contract has expired with their original mobile carrier. Wireless carriers have also used DRM in smartphones to prevent the devices from connecting to, and operating on, unauthorized cellular networks. For example, manufacturers have installed DRM in gourmet coffee makers and printers to prevent consumers from using generic, unlicensed coffee pods and toner cartridges, respectively, that are usually cheaper and easier to acquire than brand-name, manufacturer-authorized parts. In addition, some products may include “digital rights management” (DRM) technologies that prevent consumers from altering the installed software or control the types of accessories that may be used with them. Some consumer rights organizations and civil liberties groups have raised concerns that software licensing, in restricting the unauthorized resale of a product or prohibiting certain product modifications or repairs, unnecessarily limits how consumers can use software-enabled products. However, the software license’s terms and conditions may restrain certain consumer behavior after purchasing the product.

When consumers buy these “software-enabled” products from retailers, they acquire ownership of the physical hardware, but may only receive a limited license (a form of legal permission) to use the embedded software. Equipment manufacturers have integrated software in televisions, refrigerators, thermostats, coffee makers, garage door openers, automobiles, vacuums, printers, and medical devices.

Modern consumer electronic devices and products often contain software programs that facilitate their operations or provide automation, Wi-Fi and smartphone connectivity, remote control, and other sophisticated functions.
