At least in the United States I don't believe that anyone can restrict you from doing anything you want with a device you paid for and own.
The DMCA has an anti-cirucumvention clause, IIRC, that makes it illegal to sell or distribute tools that could be used to break "copy protection," and it's been argued (successfully, IIRC) that rooting a device could be considered a means of breaking copy protection.
AFAIK, that still doesn't stop people from rooting phones, but it MIGHT stop people from selling software to root phones.
