Anonymous Coward User ID: 33331858 United States 01/30/2013 09:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BREAKING: Congress Says Crime to Unlock Your Smartphone [ link to www.theatlantic.com] That's right, starting this weekend it is illegal to unlock new phones to make them available on other carriers. I have deep sympathy for any individual who happens to get jail time for this offense. I am sure that other offenders would not take kindly to smartphone un-lockers. But seriously: It's embarrassing and unacceptable that we are at the mercy of prosecutorial and judicial discretion** to avoid the implementation of draconian laws that could implicate average Americans in a crime subject to up to a $500,000 fine and up to five years in prison. is this even true??? are my eyes deceiving me? wtf? |
