Phone unlocking ban sparks consumer ire; White House petition

Geek Republic - Over the weekend, unlocking your smartphone became a crime. That decision, made by the Congressional Librarian last October, went into effect on Saturday.

Now there’s a petition to reverse the decision. The petition, posted at the White House website, already has almost 29,000 of the 100,000 signatures it needs to elicit a response from the Obama administration. You must create a whitehouse.gov account to sign the petition.

does the american government have no real work to do that they sit and decide how to screw the people that put them in their positions?

all unlocking your phone should do is void the warranty. so what they saying, is that if i was in america and i unlocked a 3 year old HTC Desire Z, its a crime? even though the manufacturer themselves made the boot locker available to the public. lolz

i feel sorry for you guys. im sure they sitting their right now deciding which one guys should wear, boxers or briefs. clearly you not allowed to have options.

Yep with all the stuff going on our government still manages to slowly take our rights away with small issues that shouldn't matter to them

here in america... whoever has the money, makes the rules. Wether its the film / music studios... or the phone carriers...

Its sad, but the united states really is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Sad thing is the government slams other countries for corruption or infringing on their citizens rights... Yet the us gov has no problem sneaking in this type of stuff on the downlow. It also has no problem breaking the law itself to take down opposing companies that go against the ones politically backing them and putting them in office.

Mark my words.. give it another 15 years or less... we will have cenesored google searches like china.

I mean look at this law.. 5 years in prison for messing with a peice of hardware that you bought? I mean some murders get less then 5 years in prison.
