Eddi Weed Grave Digger
In a country where Kinder Surprise eggs are illegal and you can buy weapons in the supermarket, the very bright government ( well, I shouldn’t really judge as my country is run by morons as well ) decided that the one thing to make illegal that would SAVE THE COUNTRY FROM TERRORISTS or something like that was phone unblocking. Apparently, back in October of last year, the Librarian of Congress decided to remove cellphone unlocking from the exceptions of the DMCA list, thus making it illegal. The decision came into play on January 26 of this year, thus forcing users to stick with the given carrier even after their original contract had expired. That seems a bit stupid to me, but then again a lot of things seem stupid and not very well thought out. I get it that there are people to profit from this, but it is entirely unfair towards the customer, and in the end it is the customer dishing out the cash from which the profiting ones survive.
