verizon are such jerks

Here in Canada Virgin Mobile has been offering to unlock competitors phones over the net or walk you through doing it yourself in order to sell you there Sim and switch you over to them , they have almost no hardware available in most markets here anymore due to the speed we keep changing platforms at so they figured out it was simpler to bring you in with the hardware that is available through their competitors , your only violating copyright law if you crack their system and use it, wiping their kernal and replacing it completely should be enough to skirt the DCMA .
