Default Keep Hardware Free, Private Property, and Hopefully Free One Day...

I believe I can post this here right?

https://www.jailbreakingisnotacrime.org/


Don't let the global powers that be lock you out of your hardware and finalize their communist regime by making the hardware you bought and paid for become not something that you own and are free to do with as you please, but rather a piece of property that you merely pay for the privilege to use from Apple, Microsoft, or one of those other ACTA and SOPA supporting corporations who wish to dominate every aspect of your life and revoke the privilege of private property not to mention privacy in general to a select few.

Also, by Communist, I am referring to the Big Government, Oppressive Regime that we have grown accustomed to over the past century. I am in no way referring to the Commune-Ism that is found within Family and Tribe.

Um... Something about the way I typed the title is off.

I think you all get the general meaning though. Homebrew development as well as the concept of private property are at risk and have been for some time. Please take a moment to visit the link and sign up.

Also, stay tuned @ http://www.osnews.com

My usual way of fighting this is by NOT buying any of their products if I can live without.

That won't work at the housing and business real estate category of private property.

The U.S. government rides shotgun on over 90% of U.S. mortgages through
Freddie and Fannie, banks are hiding the foreclosure portfolio, trying to reinflate
the bubble that burst and fueled this fiasco. And now fearless leader wants to
raise taxes on employers

They took over college loans from private lenders, and are bungling that.

GM stockholders were denied a fair bankruptcy, lost everything in that
government takeover, and now we get the Volt, with taxpayers subsidizing
$7500 for each one sold. Both the vehicle and its sales are a dismal failure.

Chrysler is now Fiat, and the government arbitrarily closed privately owned
dealerships all across the land, killing thousands of great jobs.
Legal challenge pending

The coming healthcare takeover will force a citizen to buy what they don't
want, based only on ones still being alive. Next, you will be forced to sell what
you want to keep, based on that evil precedent. Legal challenge pending.

Unemployment? Every week, tens of thousands exhaust their benefits, and those
numbers are deleted from fearless leaders unemployment stats, to make it appear
to bimbos and dweebs that unemployment is shrinking, and the economy is improving, when the opposite is true. Thankyou, ABC, NBC, and CBS, for keeping
journalism in the dark ages.

Jailbreaking isn't illegal in the USA.

That depends. I know for a fact that Bungs V64 Doctor was illegal for sale in the US. Not that the law stopped anyone determined enough to get one. The V64 was arguably a jailbreak as it allowed the copying of N64 cartridges and the use of downloaded copies.

Yep, Communism has been alive and well for quite some time here in the states. It's been a downward spiral since the mid-1800's. And working through the system seems about futile at this point, but it's worth a shot, then if that fails...

Well then peaceful resistance and non co-operation will be the only method left at our disposal...

And I suppose that's when they'll start calling in U.N. Troops to put us all in check.
