I don't think jailbreaking is necessarily legal. There is a lot of conflicting case law. I don't know if there have been any iOS jailbreak related cases but the Sony, geohot thing comes to mind. And cracking drm, even for backup purposes seems to be against the dmca.
- jakeashacks 7y agoJailbreaking is against DMCA laws (which by the way are pretty stupid; they should only account for cases when the locks are circumvented for piracy/malware purposes; but at least we got exemptions...), but there is an exemption that specifically allows jailbreaking. Important to note however, that is a DMCA exemption, not an "EULA exemption" (used quotes because that term probably doesn't exist), the exemption ignores the DMCA law, not the EULA, which proves that the EULA isn't really legally enforceable, it's more of a threat from Apple "if you do that we won't give you support/service".
