The latest Sophos.com "Naked Security" blog post asks:
: Should jailbreaking gaming consoles, mobile phones and tablets be legalized?
Rationale for raising the question:
| Yesterday US copyright regulators opened up the floodgates for a public | hearing (PDF at ) | of proposals to change copyright law, including authorizing the cracking | of tablets, DVDs, gaming consoles and mobile phones.

Laws should have never protected anything that you have purchased for your own use.
That is quite different than someone making a profit selling something that someone else has created as the inventor or writer.
Leave it to lawyers to continuously create laws that churn confusion for their own monetary desires.
Until lawyers are outlawed, there will always be outlaws.
Alas, once they are outlawed, they'll just swell the outlaw ranks :-) .
