TracFone: Cell Phone Unlocking Supports Terrorism

 Pre-paid cell phone company TracFone is arguing in court that allowing
people to unlock their cell phones and use them with competing carriers will
support terrorism. 

At issue is a recent ruling from the U.S. Copyright Office and the Library
of Congress that the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions, enacted to combat
piracy, can't be used to keep people from reprogramming cell phones they've
legally purchased.
