Cellphone users try to wrest some of carriers control - The Boston Globe
I'm quoted in this story about cell phone companies efforts to keep their customers from switching services or buying unaffiliated hardware or ringtones. My quote sounds pretty awkward, but if you want to read more about this, you can check out our (successful) filing with the Copyright Office about cell phone unlocking.

The Center for Internet and Society (CIS), housed at Stanford Law School and a part of the Law, Science and Technology Program, is at the apex of this evolving area of law.

i am really against cell phone unlocking softwares or website which provide services. making unlocking softwares is a lot more than piracy reason making hardware assembly line is not easy and if i argue i can prove cell phones these days are hell cheap if you buy on company assigned price. and when these unlocking people mess around the mobile phone company really suffers huge loss because the contract phone services company suffer huge loss so they pay less for affiliate percentage. something should be done against this black hat business.
And those websites which sell wallpapers, videos, ringtones etc etc are earning a hell lot of money either by direct income or by call to pay method (when you call and dont hung your phone for 2 minutes) call charges are hell high they are ripping people off and they sell that stuff without authority. further more worst of all many of those almost 50% of those websites are scan or malware based websites.
