| Mar 26, 2015 at 0:35 | comment | added | Random832 | @MasonWheeler the contract law is a legitimate issue, but the network you're getting on is, by definition, not a party to that contract (and network operators have ways to reject devices they don't want that aren't affected by unlocking). Unlocking your Sprint phone has nothing to do with Sprint's network, since the point is to not connect to it. | |
| Mar 25, 2015 at 19:39 | comment | added | Mason Wheeler | @BlueRaja-DannyPflughoeft: Yeah. Jailbreaking is the same thing as "rooting" your device. Unlocking means haxxoring out the part that keeps your device tied to one carrier's network. This is a more complicated concept, since it (potentially) gets into sticky areas of contract law and you're not just dealing with your own device anymore, but a network owned by a third party. | |
| Mar 25, 2015 at 19:36 | comment | added | BlueRaja | @MasonWheeler: I wasn't aware there was a difference between "jailbreaking" (which is legal) and "unlocking" (which is illegal in the US, according to the Internet). Thanks for the lesson :) | |
| Mar 25, 2015 at 19:26 | comment | added | Mason Wheeler | @BlueRaja-DannyPflughoeft: Since when is asserting control over your own property illegal? In an ideal world, selling a device that needs to be jailbroken in the first place would be illegal. In the real world in which we live, however, no laws that I'm aware of are being broken by doing what the asker here is attempting to do. | |

| Mar 25, 2015 at 18:45 | comment | added | apnorton | @BlueRaja-DannyPflughoeft Although that may be a valid objection if the question were on AskDifferent (Apple.SE), no reasonable person with half a clue of what they're doing would ask that question on Unix.SE. It is more likely that it is spam than a poor question. | |
| Mar 25, 2015 at 16:31 | comment | added | BlueRaja | Off topic, but: I don't think that question is actual spam, it's just poorly written and about something illegal. It was probably written by a child and/or foreign-speaker. The intended question is "I know how to jailbreak my iPod Touch using an Internet-connected PC, but my PC's Internet is down. Is it possible to jailbreak the iPod using its own web browser?" | |
