美国政府确认越狱，解锁iphone合法

The U.S. government on Monday announced new rules that make it officially legal for iPhone owners to "jailbreak" their device and run unauthorized third-party applications. In addition, it is now acceptable to unlock any cell phone for use on multiple carriers.

According to The Associated Press, the government approved a handful of new exemptions to a federal law that prevents the circumvention of technical measure that prevent users from accessing and modifying copyrighted works. The report noted that every three years, the Library of Congress' Copyright Office authorizes exemptions to ensure existing law does not prevent non-infringing use of copyrighted material.

In addition, another exemption was approved that would allow all cell phone users to unlock their device for use on an unapproved carrier. Currently, Apple's iPhone is available exclusively through AT&T, but unlocking it can allow for voice calls and EDGE data speeds on rival carrier T-Mobile.

Other exemptions announced Monday allow people to break protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws; allow college professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy protection measures on DVDs to embed clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos; and allow computer owners to bypass the need for external security devices (dongles) if the hardware no longer works and cannot be replaced.

The warranty-voiding jailbreak process allows users to run software not approved by Apple, which has no plans to allow users to install third-party applications downloaded from outside its sanctioned App Store. Hackers have created their own custom applications -- many free, and some for purchase from an alternative storefront known as Cydia.

Apple has been criticized for its strict control over the iPhone App Store, requiring that all applications be approved before they are made available for download. The company has defended this practice, stating that it keeps faulty and potentially dangerous software from being made available, as well as banning unsavory content such as pornography.

In April, Jobs cited an unsanctioned pornography store available for the Google Android platform as a reason to not support unsigned applications. "That's a place we don't want to go," Jobs said, "so we're not going to."

In addition to allowing access to legitimate third-party software, both free and paid, through services like Cydia, jailbreaking can also be used to pirate App Store software, one major reason why Apple has fought the practice.

Hackers have been hard at work on jailbreaking iOS 4 since it was released in June. Though the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G have been exploited, the iPhone Dev Team has continued their efforts toward both jailbreaking and unlocking the iPhone 4. With Monday's decision by the U.S. government, their efforts are now considered legal.

YY一下嘛，反正没support，apple 也不会花钱去控告用户，所以说不会有什么变化

话说回来，现在apple是不是发现jb连普通的restore都不给你做了？硬件问题管不？

美政府新规允许iPhone用户越狱http://www.sina.com.cn  2010年07月27日 02:52  新浪科技
　　新浪科技讯 北京时间7月27日凌晨消息，据国外媒体报道，根据美国政府周一公布的新规定，iPhone手机用户将可合法“越狱”，下载尚未被苹果批准的软件应用。

　　根据美国政府1998年颁布的联邦法律的规定，用户不得绕过旨在阻止非授权使用的技术措施，而今天公布的上述决定则是一系列新豁免规定的其中之一。负责监管美国版权局(Copyright Office)的国会图书馆(Library of Congress)每三年都会审查和批准豁免规定，以确保这项法律不会阻止版权保护材料的特定非侵权使用。

　　除了允许破解iPhone电子锁以外，美国政府将在1月份公布的其他豁免规定还包括：

　　* 允许手机用户打破访问控制来转换手机运营商；

　　* 允许用户打破视频游戏的技术保护来调查或修正安全性缺陷；

　　* 允许大学教授、电影学校学生和记录片电影制片商打破对DVD的版权保护措施，从而使其可以植入用于教育用途的剪辑；

　　* 允许电脑用户绕过名为dongle的外部安全设备，前提是其不再起作用且无法被替换。

苹果回应美政府新规：越狱版iPhone不享受保修http://www.sina.com.cn  2010年07月27日 16:23  新浪科技
　　新浪科技讯 北京时间7月27日下午消息，据国外媒体今日报道，苹果发言人表示，尽管修订版《数字千年版权法案》认定破解iPhone的行为合法，但此举仍然会让用户无法享受保修。

　　苹果发言人说：“苹果的目标一致都是希望确保我们的用户能够借助iPhone获得优秀的体验，而我们知道，破解会严重降低这种体验。正如我们之前所说，绝大多数用户不会破解iPhone，因为这会破坏保修条件，并导致iPhone不稳定且无法以可靠的状态运行。”

　　简单而言，苹果希望以简单稳定的方式控制iPhone的体验，但破解会向一些破坏用户体验的软件敞开大门，甚至有可能因此而导致个人信息被窃或者感染病毒。但苹果透露的最重要信息在于，此举会导致iPhone无法享受保修。

　　由于修订版《数字千年版权法案》已经明确规定破解智能手机的行为合法，因此业内人士认为，像Cydia这样的非官方iPhone应用商店有望获得更好的发展，而且那些被苹果拒绝的应用也能获得更大的生存空间。(思远)

越狱后 重刷回来 保修吗？

越狱后 重刷回来 保修吗？

问题是如果你拿回去做保修的话，一般的情况下是没法restore了。

desiderata

jb了以后应该可以恢复成非jb的状态吧

苹果当然不希望大家都jb。都jb了，谁还付费买app shop里的软件

garysu

现在的问题是，如果jb合法，那么apple就不可以拒绝给予和jb无关的服务支持，例如拿着一个jb的iphone，去要求解决硬件故障，apple应该不可以拒绝。
