Exactly, it's already illegal to use any such modifications, so it's just a lame excuse to own the customers.

  And the obvious problem in the DMCA case is that the modifications are also necessary to do things that aren't copyright infringement, like side loading apps on iOS, or creating a screen reader for the blind, or making useful third party improvements to the media device in general. It's as if the problem was people rolling back odometers and instead of passing a law against rolling back odometers they passed a law against making any modifications whatsoever to a vehicle that has an odometer. There is already a law against copyright infringement. What is the DMCA anti-circumvention law adding to that other than to prohibit things that aren't copyright infringement?
