so the most ridiculous la casa de with unlocking smartphones apparently the
library of congress outdoor liberally
he stayed uh... millwall uh... that no one really knew anything about telling
congress voted on this
uh... and and this law would be a sickly
penalize anyone who
unlocks they're smart phone in order to change cell phone carrier simple right
so let's say you're with a_t_ and t_
and you decide you know what i want to switch over to rise and i have my iphone
uh... i'm going to unlock my iphone so i can then use it with verizon services
used to be able to do that legally
but now is considered the legal and and now there is a petition going around
and a petition is asking to i'd change this law so it will no longer be illegal
but just to give you guys a sense of white at the advisory says
it sends out by by decree and the librarian of congress
it shall henceforth be ordered that american cell not unlock their own
smartphones here's the penalty in some situations first-time offenders may be
fined
and to five hundred thousand dollars
imprisoned for five years or both while four p defenders the maximum penalty
increases to a fine of one million dollars imprisonment for up to ten years
or both now of course people who see that well automatically make the
argument that what
i'm sure that there will be a penalty ensure that will be a fine but no one's
gonna get the maximum sentence sure maybe that's a decent argument but at
the same time why are we allowing people who weren't elected
you know unelected bureaucrats to make these ridiculous take money in-laws
absolutely i think
especially you know here's the argument actually for conservatives because if
they were so up in arms if you say
uh... with unelected bureaucrats undecided regulations that have
consequences on businesses financially then maybe up in arms about unelected
bureaucrats who are gonna be deciding white uh... should be ally and how you
will be a p life but he defines herb going to jail
and here's the thing want back in place people in jail should
the pacify
greatest ninety nine degrees ab the librarian apartments its own little
crazy and i love that there is a lot of push back against the signoff
and i really do believe that something will change as long as people continue
to make a big brouhaha about it
but at the same time another really important thing to keep in mind is
where do you know when you debt
any type of cell phone service
hundreds of dollars to buy a phone back
is your private property right y
not allowed to use it with a different area it's so frustrating is treating
kids yes you pay a lot of money pretty smart phones and many if your contracts
at four
you know if you want to make a that the choices to paid the penalty
to endure contract early back into your pain that you paid for the time you pay
the penalty
you should be able to switch carriers
and that you know it with inducing t like okay so let's say that they enforce
this even if you're in jail for from under imprisoned for
at the week's
that's rediculous i mean what do you say to the other
inmates any accident what are you in the air
well i i i locked my smart phone because i did want to carriers it's crazy and it
also shows you know where the priorities are right when you have real speeds in
the country when you have uh... bankers and individuals on wall street
basically reading our entire system and really destroying our economy
their mental consequences for that but if you happen to unlock something that
you sent a hundred dollars on-scene constraints cell phone carriers
all this i mean you could be slapped
with a five hundred thousand dollar fine and five years in prison and if if they
make the same thing without if you have with the legally own dvd
if you were to you can protect on your computer playable knew the
saving you have anything if i needed to help
it's it's incredible and we have some weird priorities here the his hands
