Getting out of jail is free!
http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/862193913/getting-out-of-jail-is-free
Fantastic news today from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). After a lot of hard work and mountains of paperwork, jailbreaking your iPhone is now explicitly a permitted fair use under the DMCA!
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.
In its reasoning in favor of EFF’s jailbreaking exemption, the Copyright Office rejected Apple’s claim that copyright law prevents people from installing unapproved programs on iPhones: “When one jailbreaks a smartphone in order to make the operating system on that phone interoperable with an independently created application that has not been approved by the maker of the smartphone or the maker of its operating system, the modifications that are made purely for the purpose of such interoperability are fair uses.”
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 ishere, 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 our iPhone jailbreaks and unlocks are now unambiguously legal under the DMCA.
Great job, EFF!

I just needed to say that I discovered your blog via Goolge and I am glad I did. Keep up the very good work and I will make sure to bookmark you for when I have more free time away from the books. Thanks!
I really loved this post. You describe this topic very well. Customer Service is the most important element of the car buying process, and your dealers practice should be reflective of that – effortless, straightforward, and apparent. They should grant a clear alternative to conventional transaction oriented dealership outlets, deciding instead to build their business one relationship at a time. They should invite you to discover their collection of exceptional vehicles that are meticulously inspected, professionally serviced and detailed, and come with unblemished history reports. You should find a friendly and knowledgeable staff that is glad to assist with any aspect of your hunt for the perfect vehicle. This is how most dealerships continue to prosper, one relationship at a time, by exceeding client expectations every step of the way.
