Cell Phone Locks

In a recent court decision, it was decided that cell phone customers who can find a way to defeat the software "lock" that prevents a cell phone from accessing multiple plans and multiple service carriers.....would not be infringing on copyrights.

Now, if deregulating all markets is what causes Utopia, then why would it be in a customer's best interest to defeat a bit of software, against the service carrier's wishes?

And on a related note, since it has been twenty years or so since telephone deregulation.......who here thinks their phone bill has gone down?
