I'm confused a bit here, what leg does Apple or AT&T have to stand on here? What's the legal precedent? Is there language in the licensing agreement that prohibits a consumer from attempting to unlock the phone?

Considering that people have been unlocking all sorts of makes and models of phones and using them on various carriers, why does Apple/AT&T think that the iPhone is immune to this?

just curious...
