Is it illegal to unlock your iPhone? No?
Posted by John Overleaf on 08/30/07 in iPhone
Late last year, the U.S. Copyright Office ruled that users can legally unlock their phone in order to use it on a competing carrier’s network. Phillip Torrone from Make Magazine posted an article last week touching on this subject.
This is a grab from this Copyright Office Document.
So, what is the hold up? What legal battles does iphonesimfree.com face?
OK, so it *is* legal to unlock your iPhone, but should you? Will future updates disable the unlocked phone? We have hackers smart enough to break the lock, I am sure Apple has hackers working on their side too. Do they care? Who knows, I am sure ATT has to care.
What do you think?
