The problem here is way deeper than just the possibility to unlock a phone (which obviously is already quite a big practical problem, you just have to read a couple of comments above who explain why very well). The problem is the culture in which we live in, and the transition that we are experiencing, going from `free culture`(read more about this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_culture_movement) towards a 'permission culture`, in which big companies basically control assets which should be creative commons.

This transition will not pull through, it will most probably lead to a revolution of some kind (this is a pattern seen throughout history).
