BusinessWeek made the rounds with several lawyers recently and came to the conclusion that, for now, iPhone hackers can rest easy. The report cites the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) as protection for individuals unlocking their iPhones, but the real question surrounding these hacks is if there's a real business in voiding iPhone warranties. Jonathan Kramer of Kramer Telecom Law Firm, told the reporter,* "The law here is unclear… There just isn't any case law in this area for us to figure out how it plays out..." *So, according to the report, for the time being, iPhone hacking is a growth business.
