If you care about jailbreaking and its future within the U.S., you should be worried about the fact that the exemption which ruled that jailbreaking a handset was not a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) will expire later this year. Back in 2010, that exemption made it clear that jailbreaking a handset such as an iPhone is completely legal in the United States, even though it was strictly limited to “handsets” and did not cover things such as tablets or video game consoles.

I’m glad to see Apple’s (as well as the other companies that joined the DDP) interests lie with its customers’ privacy. Laws like the ECPA which aren’t updated as time goes by can become scary when new technology is developed and isn’t protected from surveillance or seizure by law enforcement or the government. Hopefully, the Digital Due Process coalition will be able to successfully get Congress to bring the ECPA up to date.

What do Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, and Jack Claw have in common? Yes, they’re all made by Frozenbyte, but that’s not the answer. The answer is that they’re all part of the Humble Frozenbyte Bundle, and you can get all of them for whatever amount you want to spend. If you bought the games separately, you would pay $50, but you can pay as little as $5 or as much as $100. It’s all up to you!

Apple has decided that it’s not only unsupported, but also illegal, to jailbreak your iPhone. Don’t worry yet, though. As of right now, only Apple supports this notion, so unless they hire iCops with real power to arrest, you’ll be safe with your haxx0red iPhone or iPod touch.
