IANAL*, nor am I qualified to give you legal advice, but I keep reading these messages on this list. I would think there's a difference between "illegal" and "in breach of contract". ie: The police can put you in prison for the first one, and you can get civilly sued by an individual or company for the second. I would have thought that in most countries what you do with your phone after you have purchased can really only invalidate the warranty, or breach your contract with the teleco. That would potentially put you in line for a civil case against the teleco, but not have the police come looking for you. I'm guessing you come from America, where I think the RIAA / MPAA have muddied the waters about what is and isn't illegal.
With regards to Google, and again with the proviso that I'm not in the lagal profession, I would suggest that they don't actually have any control over what you do with YOUR telephone, which was in any case made by another company. Don't forget they sell the Dev phone completely unlocked. *IANAL = I Am Not A Layer. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
