In 2005 Motorola Tried to Sue Me For Unlocking Phones
Today, now more than before, it is illegal to modify a device you have bought with your own money.<p>Worse, even if you find a fault in your device that threatens your personal safety, your are still not allowed to fix that fault. On top of that and thus <i>even worse</i>, if that fault actually causes a problem, the entity that is active preventing your from fixing the problem is still not liable for any damages caused by that fault. All risk is on the consumer who owns the device, while all rights belonging to the company. The owner of the device is left with no rights, and has no effective power over the device.<p>Its absurd.
