We're literally letting Sprint dictate policies that go against US law, then saying "BUT IT IS THEIR POLICY OMG U RETARD WHATS WRONG WITH YOU" instead of going "Well, gee, wait, according to the law they have to take it... Why are we letting their policy trump law?"

Can anyone enlighten me?

I tink you are a lil confoozed man.
It's not ILLEGAL to flash custom roms, superuser, yada yada yada. In fact, the only thing that IS illegal is to hack ESN numbers. Warranty's are a courtesy that the manufacturer or distributer extends to you. Because of this, they could say that picking your nose while holding the phone voids it (just an example, no one freak out). The point is as a warranty they can say whatever they want to void it, and I assure you, it is extensively mentioned that anything of the sort will void it. That's why god or xda created the re-lock. And why HTC is cracking down on stockroms.com.
Go figure.
