Re: Apple says it is illegal to jail break an i Pod touch

said by geekamongus:

The difference here is that you don't own Windows XP/Vista, you are simply licensed to use it.

You buy a piece of hardware, you own it and can do anything you want with it. However, if the licensing of the software/firmware which runs upon it restricts you from tampering with it, you can't legally tamper with it. Tamper with the hardware all you want, because it is yours.
I tamper with OS installed on mine computer the very first minute I've entered my account name into it. Then I tamper it all the time - I modify registry settings (directly or indirectly), I add and remove components, I'm analyzing how it works (or, in some cases, do not) regularly, etc. It's mine copy of OS running on mine computer and I modify it as I want. And it's completely different now from the copy that I've purchased.

I do the same thing

As I said, its not that I think it's right that we aren't supposed to tamper with software which we have a license to use, but that's the way it often is, unfortunately.
