| 1122655 | 2010-07-26 22:22:00 | www.osnews.com reaking_Legal :devil Well thats US law and has "nothing" to do with NZ law which is based on the Britsh system. Jailbreaking is not likely to be illegal here. In fact its unlikely to "even" void warranty if tested, as here the modification generatlly needs to be proven as the cause of the failure. Very grey area but I am remember a few cases where non apporved parts were added to PC's and manufactures (aka improters) tried to void warranty. |

What I find interesting is that crApple are starting to no longer have things all their own way. | KarameaDave (15222) | ||

That didn't please the US lobby. |

Actually our Legal system is VERY independent of the US system and there is very little influence. We are historically a British colony not a US colony! As above what is copyright law in the US does "necessarily" apply here and a lot is not tested. |

| 1122661 | 2010-07-27 01:12:00 | I don't argue with what you are saying Battleneter2...in theory. However I am concerned about the closed-door ACTA negotiations that have been going on. The present set of monkeys we have in power would do almost anything for the proverbial 'Free Trade Agreement' so may sign our freedoms away in exchange for better access to the U.S market. |
