Re: [Trisquel-users] off-topic (maybe): petition to re-legalize unlocking cell phones in USA

That's unjust. If it's my device (i.e. my personal property), I should be  
able to do whatever I want with it, regardless of what the company that sold  
it to me wants to do.

Maybe you would buy a lawn mower that's bolted shut so only the manufacturer  
can repair it. In that case, you should still have the right to break open  
that lock by force so you can do repairs on the lawn mower yourself. The only  
temptation you should ever have to resist doing that is the possibility of  
losing the warranty or doing irreversible damage.
