Ethical Implications Of Modifying Modern Mobile Computing Platforms


With this week's rejection of the Google Voice app for the iPhone, I thought it might be a good time to post this paper I wrote for my Information Technology Ethics class last month in the Auburn MBA program. My paper covers some background on jailbreaking and unlocking mobile devices (iPhone, Android, & WebOS primarily), the legal environment surrounding such activities, and whether doing so is in fact ethical.

Since I've got some footnote and bullet action going on in the paper, I'm just going to post the PDF instead of copying/pasting the entirety of it into this blog post.
