Verizon's Locked Galaxy S3 Bootloader Unlocked - So, Why did Big Red Bother Again?

Re: Time to arrest the developer of the program. said by Rambo76098: Once I sign the contract, it ceases to be Verizon's phone. The device is mine, and I'm legally entitled to do with it as I please. Hence the iPhone jailbreaking decision. No the phone is still Verizon unless you outright purchased it. It 's your phone once the contact ends or you just buy it out. The contract that you signed with Verizon defines who owns the phone and what you can do with it.

Have you ever even read a contract that you sign for a mobile carrier? It states, nowhere in it, that they own the phone that you buy. When you sign the contract, you are signing a service agreement. They are to provide you service, and they essentially give you a general list of limitations / general contract terms. Why do people sign contracts? Purchasing a phone outright is very expensive. When you sign a contract, you are committing to pay X amount per month, for (usually) a 24-month term. When you sign, you are also taking ownership of a phone for a subsidized price. This means that, in exchange for paying $199 for a phone (instead of $649) you are paying $199, and also promising you will be a customer for the terms established in your contract.

	Re: Time to arrest the developer of the program. 5th circuit ruling only applies to Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. There are 47 other states which it do not cover.

Re: Time to arrest the developer of the program. VZW has presence in each of those states. In any event, the DMCA reads "No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title"... Circumventing DRM must result in a Title 17 violation to violate the DMCA. Adding apps to a phone or changing its behavior doesn't violate any part of Title 17. It's no different than defeating cell phone carrier locks.

The contract that you signed with Verizon defines who owns the phone and what you can do with it. Wrong. I see you either don't have a postpaid phone, or haven't read your contract. The ownership of the phone is transferred at the time you sign the agreement, which is why if it breaks outside the mfg warranty, you have to pay for the repair or replacement, not the carrier. Same if you lose it or physically damage it, you are on the hook. If the carrier retained ownership, we would all be paying device lease fees like you do with most dsl/cable/satellite equipment. We pay a lease fee, the company owns the equipment, and is responsible for proper function of the device in case of equipment failure (not caused by physical damage) without regard to manufacturer warranty. The phone becomes yours, but you agree to the prorated ETF if you break the contract prior to the end of the contract term. Hence why we don't have to return phones when we change service or end a contract early.

The jailbreaking exemption expiring doesn't mean that jailbreaking is illegal. All it means is that the exemption, which specifically said that there could be no DMCA claims against jailbreaking, isn't there anymore. By your logic, wearing a bright yellow shirt would be illegal unless there is a specific statute saying that wearing it is legal.

Re: Time to arrest the developer of the program. Copyright office website says rules are valid for 3 years and the rules about phone DRM were issued July 26, 2010. So technically they shouldn't expire until July 26, 2013. But new rules are expected in October which would supplant those made in 2010, thus nullifying them early if the copyright office were to reverse itself. ?www.copyright.gov/laws/rulemaking.html The way I read it, the "designations" are the classes of works referred to in the rules, e.g., the first section on DVDs, then the one on wireless handsets, etc.

Re: Time to arrest the developer of the program. said by The Limit: That's quite a slippery slope. Like what has been said already, the phone belongs to the user (not the company). The user can mod the phone as he/she sees fit (there was also a case regarding jailbreaking being legal/illegal, wasn't the end result that jailbreaking is legal?). I don't get your position in the matter. Your argument doesn't make any sense to me. There is never realy been a case about jail breaking being lega. There was rulling that DMCA do not cover it in 2010. That was only for 2 years and it expired this year. Yes there was case from 5th circuit but it only apply to the state that it covers. By jailbreaking the phone, you can put anything and everything and keep revenue out of cell phone company hands. To me that is a big no, no and phone company should fight back.

If they do force an update of the bootloader(which I doubt), it probably wont take more than a week to crack it. Once its open, its open. For examples, look at the iOS hacking/jailbreaking. Once its initial jailbreak, it nearly always takes only a few days from the updates to jailbreak them again. Case in point, iOS 5.0.1 to 5.1. Apple didnt even bother to fix the flaw they used to jailbreak the software, they just patched some files and moved on.

W.Va. embraces ancient sport of Irish road bowling

In an Aug. 4, 2012, David Powell, membership director for the West Virginia Irish Road Bowling Association, talks about the sport during a break in the action at the North American Region Finals at Coopers Rock State Forest near Bruceton Mills, W.Va. (AP Photo/Vicki Smith)

BRUCETON MILLS, W.Va. (AP) ? It sounds as if it ought to be a drinking game: Grown men and women hurl a 2-pound cannonball as far as they can down a paved country road, each aiming to finish the 1.5-mile, chalk line "course" with the fewest throws.

But in some circles, Irish road bowling is serious business.

Players and coaches ? or players who think they're coaches ? stand in the road as a competitor pauses, studying the slope and the curves before taking a few running steps and pitching the ball underhand, releasing it just before his velocity carries him across the starting line. The ball rolls and the crowd parts, screaming, leaning, gesturing and otherwise willing the iron and steel sphere to stick to the pavement.

When the roll is good, they pump their fists and bellow cheers that echo through the forest. When it's bad, the hurler hears silence or a few noticeably lower-volume words of encouragement.

"Irish road bowling is the greatest sport you haven't heard of," says Dave Powell, membership director and spokesman for the West Virginia Irish Road Bowling Association.

Road bowling is one of the oldest sports in the world, and one of the easiest and cheapest to get into. It requires no uniform and no gear, save for a 28-ounce cannonball, or "bowl," that the West Virginia group will rent for $5 per day. Play occurs on paved road but seldom stops traffic. The action merely resumes after vehicles pass. Only during the largest competitions are roads closed to motorists.

The sport originated in Ireland and is played primarily in five counties there ? Cork, Armagh, Louth, Mayo and Wexford ? where it's known as "Irish Long Bullets." Crowds of spectators can number in the thousands, the masses filling the road but parting magically as the bowl begins to roll. There, the game is played every night of the week and provides regular entertainment and income for gamblers, with tens of thousands of dollars routinely and legally changing hands.

Janet O'Mahoney, 42, of Boston, is the wife of two-time All-Ireland champion Florrie O'Mahoney. She's traveled to his home country more than 20 times to watch some 150 matches, called "scores."

The biggest counties have the best players "because they're at it constantly," she says, but even children under 12 compete.

"Here, obviously it's a lot smaller and there are less people," she says, "but as sportsmanship goes, it's the same."

In West Virginia, road bowling was first taken up by the Lewis County town of Ireland during the 1995 Irish Spring Festival. The state association has been holding tournaments ever since, mainly at festivals and fairs. Last year, about 1,000 people played, though only 25-30 are what Powell calls "hard-core" regular competitors.

Powell, a photo and film researcher who grew up near Salem and now lives in Washington, D.C., says road bowling can be "a real fun roll-and-stroll for families," but the tone was "extremely serious" when teams from Boston, New York and North Carolina turned out for the early August North American Region Finals at Coopers Rock State Forest in West Virginia.

Winners in some classes advance to the All-Ireland finals, or world championships, this September.

Unlike the Boston club, whose members live within an hour of each other and can play twice a week, the West Virginia players are far-flung and have far less time to play together and practice.

"Road bowling really requires a combination of coordination and speed," Powell says. "If you're beautifully accurate but you don't have the speed, you're not going to be able to excel. If you're really strong and fast, and you don't have the accuracy, you're going to be in the ditch too quickly."

Some throws are as long as 300 yards, a distance determined by where the bowl comes to rest, not where it leaves the road. And it almost always leaves the road.

In West Virginia, the longest shot on record is a 422-yard roll at the 2001 Irish Spring Festival.

The state association launched a competitive singles league last year, and interest has been growing among spectators and players. The next competition is Aug. 18 at the Doddridge County Fair in West Union, and events are scheduled through Nov. 4, when the season wraps up at Stonewall Resort in Roanoke.

"Anyone who lives in the state of West Virginia can get to one of our events in about an hour," Powell says. The biggest are the Irish Spring Festival in March and an October tournament at Holly River State Park.

Carl George of Buckhannon says road bowling is harder than it looks, but anyone can do it.

"It's a lot of fun, a lot of exercise, and it doesn't cost much," he says. "It's really a good time."
