So now, if you buy a used cell phone, you gotta validate it's not unlocked or it's a fine or clinker time...

[bogie]

I just don't get it.......... There are no substantive problems in this country that congress needs to fix.

Yeah, people do not see that every day what we can do with our own property is being limited.

I've got a dollar that says that not one single person is ever charged for this.

Probably not yet.But it seems the list of things one cant do is adding up.Once the list is full and we are trully assimilated the'll start charging...

Someone has said recently that most people violate at least one law just by waking up & getting out of bed...

And we can all see who this new 'law' benefits? Not you and me, that's for sure...

I'm pretty sure everyone is reading this shit wrong...

When you buy a phone at a discounted price it is subsidized by the carrier. you are in a contract . EVERY CARRIER will unlock your phone at the end of the contract ( and most will do it after you pay the Early Termination Fee when breaking the contract early) .. all this new ruling says is that it is illegal to break that contract.

I don't see what the big deal is .

Since you put it that way it makes more sense.
Were just getting our tinfoil a bit too tight with all the going ons.
