    That's because the story isn't about Apple, but the first serious limitation of the DMCA. Which, I'd say, about time. It's been abused for things it's ridiculous, it's not even funny.

    I'd have thought that the first limitation was when Sony was told that rootkitting all their customers' computers fell outside the realm of copyright protection.

      You could be right. I filed that as "borderlining criminal - approaching from the wrong side", but yeah.

        Warranty's for an year right? Jail Break it after 12 months then. Should be all okay then.

          Also, anything that chips away at the idiocy of the DMCA is a good thing.

          Yeeeaaaahhh. Well, maybe once you've experienced having your original copyrighted material stolen and used to generate income for some sleazebag, you might change your tune on this. :rolleyes:

          (1) It's technically bogus. You could write "Boo!" on a CD and claim this is your copy protection. (2) It's abused way beyond copyright. (3) Sleazebags tend to have moar lawyers
