US legalizes phone jailbreaking/rooting

[Trev]

Dongles (and potentially other measures) have been circumcised, er, limited as well: http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/07/23/29099.htm

Bypassing unsupported dongles and circumventing cell phone restrictions for use on third-party networks were already DMCA exemptions. Really, I'm more excited by the appeals court ruling, which would most likely cover the new cell phone exemption anyway.

I'm pretty sure that's what most Americans do to dongles. Barbaric, in my opinion, but what can you do?
