Lolita Lebron, a Puerto Rican nationalist known to some as a terrorist and to others as a near-mythic freedom fighter for her violent attack on the U.S. Capitol more than a half-century ago, died Aug. 1 at a hospital in San Juan of complications from respiratory disease. She was 90.

About time! Smartphones are gateway objects to other, more dangerous, unlockables. Once these kids have unlocked their phones, they want more things to unlock. Bigger things. Doors, cabinets, cars, their own potential, the mysteries of the female mind.

It's like buying a car, and only being allowed to drive it in certain states. When our governments choose whether to protect consumers (which is the majority) or the business. And this government is created by the people, how is it that we somehow manage to always fuck ourselves in these situations?

^ sorry, let me rephrase:

And what about a word from Yurimon? I'm sure he has some sagacious bon mots to add to the discussion here. Yuri pet, come out from under your rock and make a name for yourself ...

ok again, our governments must be drunk or something...
" $500,000 fine and up to five years in prison" ...
for unlocking an iPhone? a fair judicial system would match a penalty with the crime. it's 30x cheaper to rob somebody these days, than unlock an iPhone. who is the victim here? it's amazing how one man's business, can allow our government to fall in such corruption to deceive and undermine the people here....

If the penalty is huge, like $500k, I can imagine it unlikely that a judge and jury will convict an average person who does this for average reasons.... maybe only somebody who is trying to do something really bold, not just say making an AT&T phone work on T-Mobile....

"any person who violates section 1201 or 1201 willfully and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain."
So why is taking a smartphone and modifying it to be something else a crime but people do it with all sorts of other products...the whole auto industry? or am i missing something?

I would reasonably consider wanting to use your Galaxy Half-Breed™ or whatever phone you'll have next on a different carrier is certainly doing so willfully, but not the accompanying AND clause of doing so for commercial or private financial gain - you're gaining, nor attempting to gain anything other than phone service - a commercial transaction in which you purposefully set out to lose money, in exchange for services. Fuck them, do it.

Whatever happened to the simplicity of keeping customers with good service? Fuckin' gun to the head sucks!
