The Library of Congress's Copyright Office ruled that users can Hack or "jailbreak" their iPods / iPhones legally.
Jailbreaking, the government said, is "innocuous at worst and beneficial at best."
Jailbreaking is the act of taking a device from its original settings and creating a whole new custom, "Hacked" device on the inside".
Apple, which has long been vocally opposed to any meddling with the iPhone, doesn't seem particularly excited by the decision, but it's not going to let a little thing like a copyright ruling alter its existing policy of voiding the warranties of jailbroken phones.
