Jailbreak is legal on your iPhone

In July 2010 American Copyright Office ruled out that the jailbreak process for iPhone is not to be considered as a violation of federal copyright laws. This was great news for many iPhone users who are used to use the jailbreak and unlock process for their iPhones. It means that they are in no legal trouble for modifying their own handset. It is important to know that there is a significant difference between jailbreak and unlock for iPhone. When you jailbreak your iPhone you can install software which is outside of iTunes App Store. To unlock your iPhone means to make it work on another network carrier, not only officially supported AT&T. You can perform on the same iPhone both the jailbreak and the unlock or you can only jailbreak if you are on AT&T and you don’t need to carrier unlock.

It is interesting how the cat and mouse game develops between Apple and the jailbreaking community. We have recently written about the new twist where Apple has injected a piece of code which is then testing if your iPhone or iPad is jailbroken and if so it blocks your access to books with DRM in the iBooks app.

The issue was notified by the users who use iBooks for reading leggaly purchased books and the famous group Dev Team has immediately reacted by releasing an upgrade to the Greenpois0n jailbreaking tool. @Comex is the guy to whom we should be thankful for this fast reaction.
