Wieder mal etwas, was voellig an mir vorbei gegangen ist...

Today, unlocking your new cell phone so it can be used on another carrier isn’t illegal. Tomorrow, that will change.

That’s because the Librarian of Congress – the official in charge of interpreting the Digital Millenium Copyright Act – has ruled that cell phone unlocking is a violation of that law. The librarian announced this position back in October, but gave a 90-day window before the decision takes effect. That window closes Saturday.
