iPhone jailbreaking allowed by federal ruling

iPhone jailbreaking allowed by federal ruling: "

Apple lost its bid today to criminalize 'jailbreaking,' the practice of hacking an iPhone to install unauthorized apps on the smartphone, according to a decision by the U.S. Copyright Office and the Library of Congress.

The decision, which was announced Monday by Librarian of Congress James Billington, adds jailbreaking to the list of practices that do not violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
