Did Congress Really Expect Us to Whittle Our Own Personal Jailbreaking Tools?
- berbec 9y agoWhile I support the idea of device control the EFF is pushing here, are we really expecting the company to go "Oh, then let me jailbreak that for you" and then take the software team off the current job to release the custom firmware/bootloader etc? I don't have an answer for this one, but I think expecting the company to spend money is not the best way. Much better would be ditching this garbage law and requiring right to repair so the initial release had the requirements built in.
- emh68 9y agoSeems like the system is working as intended. The Copyright Office is powerless or unwilling to stand up to the copyright holders, and as a result they can only give us hollow concessions like "You can jailbreak this, but you can't buy tools from someone else to do so".
