Legally, What Is Jailbreak?
Found this very interesting article on Modmyi about Jailbreak and its definition as per Apple v/s Copyright Office - T he Copyright Office and Librarian of Congress today officially sanctioned jailbreaking the iPhone, and while they were at it also put their pen to paper approving unlocking the device as well. Apple originally weighed in on this issue in February of 2009. At it’s core, jailbreaking is not an app, it’s not Cydia, it’s one simple thing – having unrestricted write access to your device
