It is not a completely dumb law. The law does in fact help prevent stolen devices from being used. (i.e.: blacklisted phones reported as lost or stolen.)

This may not have been the intent of the law, but it is a result. I do agree that one should be able to do as they choose with their own phone, including an ESN change to their own phone with their own device. I also like that there is some protection in place, unlike a sim card, where it can just be easily swapped by switching sim cards.
