Member: 1294693 Status: Offline Sonork: 100.1591739 Thanks Meter: 483 | iphone jailbreak....hot news The first of EFF’s three successful requests clarifies the legality of cell phone “jailbreaking” — software modifications that liberate iPhones and other handsets to run applications from sources other than those approved by the phone maker. More than a million iPhone owners are said to have “jailbroken” their handsets in order to change wireless providers or use applications obtained from sources other than Apple’s own iTunes “App Store,” and many more have expressed a desire to do so. But the threat of DMCA liability had previously endangered these customers and alternate applications stores.The EFF also successfully renewed the existing DMCA exception for carrier unlocking. More on the ruling by the Library of Congress is here and here (and many other places, since this is huge news!). The full ruling is here, and EFF’s history with this case is here (EFF’s servers are understandably getting hammered today!). This doesn’t mean that Apple will stop their technical attempts to thwart jailbreaking, but it does mean that iPhone jailbreaks and unlocks are now unambiguously legal under the DMCA. Great job, EFF! |

actually the only unlock iphone which is going to be under warranty is the ones that are factory unlock.....once you go any other rout to unlock then you void the warranty....and i think that is soo clear | |

Member: 796992 Status: Offline Thanks Meter: 6 | Well...It was clear till they said adding software to it to unlock or jail break was not illegal anymore. Before it was illegal so they didn't have to warranty it. Now that it is legal, I would think that even a jail broken phone would still be under warranty. Before...You were doing something wrong to the phone to break the warranty....Now (according to the law)....Your not. Not so clear anymore. At least to me anyway. |
