If they would have just put the hack up for download, then showed everyone the video proving they could do it, ATT wouldn't have had the chance to stop them prior to releasing it, and would have had to file a legal injunction to get them to stop.  Chances are it would not have been granted since there are no clear cut legal guidelines for unlocking a device you own.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[TJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 26th 2007 2:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on UniquePhones indefinitely delays release of iPhone SIM unlock software]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</guid><description><![CDATA[They should look into do it in Antigua<br><br><a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20070823/194516.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://techdirt.com/articles/20070823/194516.shtml</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anthony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2007 8:55AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on UniquePhones indefinitely delays release of iPhone SIM unlock software]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</guid><description><![CDATA[Umm hello<br><br><a href="http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2006/11/25/unlocking-a-cell-phone-is-now-legal-in-the-us/" rel="nofollow">http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/2006/11/25/unlocking-a-cell-phone-is-now-legal-in-the-us/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[donnie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2007 11:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on UniquePhones indefinitely delays release of iPhone SIM unlock software]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</guid><description><![CDATA[If I were them I'd leak it for free.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Xultar]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2007 11:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on UniquePhones indefinitely delays release of iPhone SIM unlock software]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</guid><description><![CDATA[The only problem I can see is that the phone has to be one that you own.  All handsets are subsidized when you buy a 1 or 2 year contract, and even with the steep upfront cost of the iPhone, it is still subsidized too (that's why the locks are technically called "subsidy locks").  The only argument I can see AT&T making is that you don't completely own the phone until the subsidy is paid for.<br><br>But even that is unclear since the carrier never clearly tells you when your subsidy is paid for, or people would never stand for being locked into a two year contract because I'm sure it's paid off in well under 2 years.<br><br>I think I agree with TJ.  It's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2007 2:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on UniquePhones indefinitely delays release of iPhone SIM unlock software]]></title><link>http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/25/uniquephones-indefinitely-delays-release-of-iphone-sim-unlock-so/</guid><description><![CDATA[To me AT&T needs to be told by the government to shut the hell up.  We OWN these phones (I don't, but I said "we") and even if we cancel service, we still OWN these phones and the law states (at least until 2009) this is LEGAL to unlock your phone for personal use.  *shrugs* if they want to make a buck, so be it.  I agree with Google and we should OPEN up the cell phone industry like Europe has.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2007 3:12PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
