The US congress has just ruled that it is not illegal ot jailbreak your Iphone and run any apps you want on it, and it does not infringe any apple copyrights. So basically developers of apps that had their apps rejected by apple can now have their apps run on iphone anyway now with no fear of apple trying to punish anyone.

I am wondering if these kind of rullings could be made with microsoft and the Xbox. Perhaps preventing Microsoft from punishing people who modify their xboxs, Punishments such as banning consoles.

Any thoughts?

By the way, here is a link to the Iphone story http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-07-26/apple-iphone-users-have-u-s-blessing-to-jailbreak-add-own-applications.html

When you agree to connecting to Xbox 360, you agree to not modifying your console/go online with a modified console. So, they do have the right to ban you. Now, making modifying a Xbox 360 illegal is just a bunch of bull crap.

But the Copyright Office concluded that, “while a copyright owner might try to restrict the programs that can be run on a particular operating system, copyright law is not the vehicle for imposition of such restrictions.”
