Iphone jailbreak is now legal?

What does the Copyright Office's ruling mean?
The short answer is that jailbreaking your iPhone or other mobile device will no longer violate a controversial federal copyright law called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, or DMCA. Bypassing a manufacturer's protection mechanisms to allow "handsets to execute software applications" is now permitted.


OK, then is user able to get support from apple if we failed on jailbreak??


What does Apple say?
Apple's goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great experience with their iPhone and we know that jailbreaking can severely degrade the experience.


hmmm..I am not sure about that...then why don't they support Adobe application on iphone?! :D


So does Apple have to support jailbreaking?
Nope. Apple iPhone Software License Agreement (PDF) bans any attempt to "modify" the iPhone software or to reverse-engineer it.

OK, user can do jailbreak legally but it's all on your risk! Nothing really changed from before, If the user wanted to try jailbreaking, they already did, whether it's legal or not. I just have weird feeling about statement from apple above, "to insure our customers have a great experience" , to realize it, they should fix the current problem and support all major application on iphone asap :)
I am disappointed of iphone 4G,,, so far new Motorola Droid X is much better than new iphone.. hmhmhm.. see, what's next? ;))
