MacDailyNews Take: Technically, “jailbreaking” refers to the latter and “unlocking” refers to the former.
NCB continues, “‘Current jailbreak technologies now in widespread use utilize unauthorized modifications to the copyrighted bootloader and operating system, resulting in the infringement of the copyrights in those programs,’ Apple told the U.S. Copyright Office.”

MacDailyNews Take: Not much meat in the NBC article, so it’s unclear what Apple’s asking for, if anything. Under the DMCA of 2010, both jailbreaking and unlocking are legal in the United States of America. More info: U.S. government makes iPhone jailbreaking, unlocking legal – July 26, 2010

@ solid: Just because there’s familiarity with the *concept* of jailbreaking, says nothing about how much of it is actually going on.
It’s far too easy for technophiles to listen to their own echo chambers and assume “everyone” is doing it, when they’re excluding the vast majority of “normal” people out there who may possibly hear about it, but would never do so themselves.
@NHL
Your point makes sense except for the fact that the iPhone has been rendered almost useless in some areas with certain carriers. Why not open it up and let the carriers compete for our business by giving us the best they have to offer?
