An interesting parallel story to this. Our congress just made it
illegal to unlock a phone.
Is you buy a phone locked to X service, it is illegal for anyone but
them to set it free, even after your contract expires

So, harry is a crook... I told you so.

Not for this, Unlocking a phone is different than just cracking into
the operating system and removing Apple's monopoly enforcer.

Jailbreaking a phone or, as you put it, "just cracking into
the operating system and removing Apple's monopoly enforcer," isn't
illegal, either, although your description of the process is a bit
"underdetailed," if you will. What jailbreaking does is open up a closed
OS.
