The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been busy petitioning The Copyright Office to legalize the act of iPhone jailbreaking, which gives users complete control over what applications they can run and what other networks the device runs on (assuming there are any). But in a filing, Apple lawyers are arguing that the act of jailbreaking constitutes a national security threat, and that by allowing users to alter the iPhone’s BBP (baseband processor software), all manner of nefarious activities can take root:EFF Fred von Lohmann calls Apple's claims "preposterous," noting there's an estimated one million jailbroken iPhones already in the wild, none of which have triggered wireless Armageddon. He also notes that were Apple's claims true, the open-source Android phone from Google on T-Mobile networks would be a complete menace to society.
