The Library of Congress has declared that jailbreaking your iPhone to install applications not approved by Apple and unlocking the iPhone is legal under new rules announced today.
According to the Associated Press, the decision to allow the practice commonly known as "jailbreaking" is one of a handful of new exemptions from a federal law that prohibits the circumvention of technical measures that control access to copyrighted works. Every three years, the Library of Congress authorizes such exemptions to ensure that existing law does not prevent non-infringing use of copyrighted material. Another exemption will allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.
This is great news for the jailbreak community! We'll have more details as they become available.
Even tho its Legal now but i think Apple will still patch any jailbreaks on a firmware as of fixing bugs!
This is great great great news for the jailbreak communities and very greatly greatly greatly bad for Apple!
