so nice try, your still wrong...
so cheating on your taxes wouldnt be wrong, its just cleaver??? just like cheating our carriers isnt wrong, its cleaver..

okay, so i had to stop reading the thread after this. dude, it makes sense that your a law student. u ask 4 peoples opinons then when they give their OPINIONS, u bash them for it. it equals out to me asking you what flavor ice cream you want, u respond with cookie dough. and i respond with.....well for your information i happen to be a ice cream vendor and that flavor is NOT the most popular, my opinion is that chocolate is the best, therefore you are wrong. . . . . . i am king of everything!!!!!
so my OPINION on this debate is that tethering is not illegal. my OPINION is also that tethering for free is not the same as commiting tax fraud. like others have stated....we are paying for the data useage, we have paied for the phones, and everything that comes with it, the software, the registry, everything. so any changes that we decide to make to the software, or the registry is not illegal. the manufacturer may not like what we have decided to do with it, but thats the way it goes.
so my OPINION is that the tethering service that sprint, and the others want to charge u for is not the data, but they want to charge u a sort of service fee for setting you up with it every month. on my touch pro, internet sharing is a feature that htc implemented.....or implemented by windows mobile...i dont really know. but sprint felt the need to cripple that program, and then ask for more of my money to turn it back on. so the users find out how to turn the program on without sprint, my OPINION: if you can do it yourself, then why pay sprint to do the exact same thing.
it would be like me selling you a stove. you paid for it, and you pay for the electricity (its an electric stove btw, lol). but b4 i give you the stove i pull off all of the nobs that are used to actually turn it on. i tell you that i will let you use the nobs, but u have to pay me 10 bucks a month to use them. so would it be illegal for you to use some plyers that u have, instead of the nobs that i want to rent to you?
bottom line, if we violate the terms of agreement, then our cell company has every right to terminate our contract. is what we are doing illegal, my OPINION is nope. we are just providing the service without sprints help.
sorry for the long post, but the fricken law student is annoying. its sad, still in law school and already thinks he or she knows it all. maybe you should run for president.
