IMO, not quite - or at least not yet. Wait until someone releases a program that unlocks the processor for free, and see what Intel's reaction is.

Similar situation is Microsoft blocking modchipped consoles from xbox live. Your right to modchip, and their right to deny access (you violated their ToS). So long as they don't brick your console while you are using it in a 'passive' manner (IE not using xbox live).
