Apple Thoughts: Jailbreakers are Lawbreakers? Apple Thinks So!

"The Electronic Frontier Foundation has posted the news that Apple has filed comments with the US Copyright Office stating that the act of jailbreaking your iPhone is a copyright infringement and a DMCA violation, and therefore illegal. The EFF says that Apple is claiming that jailbreak apps still require modified versions of Apple's software, and Apple apparently believes that those versions are infringing on their copyrights."

It took awhile, but Apple has finally made their opinion very clear in this briefing filed with the US Copyright Office. The EFF is taking a stand on the opposite side stating "reverse engineering is a fair use when done for purposes of fostering interoperability with independently created software." How in the world is Apple going to enforce this one you might ask? Good question, and I'm not sure either. However at this point it is just a formal complaint, I'm sure more is to follow!
