If someone jailbreaks and iPhone, then Apple can "ban" you from using the internet/making phone calls. You don't own the operating system, you are agreeing to a contract and their terms. It sucks, but that is the intellectual property rights coming out.
I imagine a lot of jailbreakers would be pissed if they were "banned" for hacking...
I don't know what you mean by "you don't own the operating system," but jailbreaking is DMCA compliant regardless of what Apple would have the end user think.
Of course this whole thing can be circumvented by buying an Android Experience phone. They are essentially designed to be rooted, at which point the user has full control. No walled garden approach there.
Incorrect. You do not own the operating system, apple does.
It is the same with hacking an xbox or wii. You can keep your console, or phone. You just will not be able to communicate via standard means.
Just like having a windows COA only authorizes you to run windows, you are essentially renting out the software. At any point for violation of the actual I.P. agreement, your rights to the OS/programs can be pulled.
Like it or not, apple is a control freak; and people with jailbroken devices may. In the future only be able to make pone calls. It sucks, but it is their right as the actual owners of the intellectual property.
You cannot mod or hack the software and expect to get a free pass much longer. When you click "I agree" it is the end all. You can't use it without agreeing, and soon you can't use it while hacked.
I don't know what post you meant to quote, but none of this addresses my post's content. "I don't know what you mean by 'you don't own the operating system,'" is not a claim of ownership. Software licensing is a now a well-established practice, and the idea that a consumer "owns" commercial software is ludicrous.
Rereading your post, I am completely convinced that you read the first sentence of mine and proceeded to bang out the first rant that came into your head as a response. Obviously this is beyond my control, but if you wish to have a productive conversation it would help to make the effort to read and respond to the other party's actual statement.
I suppose a request for proofreading is a bridge too far, but while we're dreaming correct spelling and grammar would be welcomed as well.
