08-22-2010 04:44 PMIf they did that, they would be under a lawsuit based on the new law that was passed by congress about jailbreak. Originally Posted by johaBBa

08-22-2010 04:58 PMYup Yup!! Also, remember, Android software is open source. I dunno what grounds Motorola has in sending a C&D letter, but if I was a webmaster, I wouldn't wanna have to spend money to goto court to find out.

08-22-2010 05:01 PMAll that says is Apple (or any phone maker) cannot stop people from hacking their devices. It says nothing about them not being able to stop people from running "leaked" operating systems. Also, it isn't exactly a passed law... it's more of a "you can't hide behind copyright protections to stop people" sort of thing. Originally Posted by Sydman

Personally, I hate copyright... but while the laws are in place, they have not only the right to send a cease and desist, but they are backed by the US government while doing so.
Copyright laws suck and need to be totally revamped.
