Ianal, but aren't there some examples when you are NOT allowed to modify
things even when you own them. Perhaps most deal with making it do something
illegal. For example, you can't modify and a radio, CD or other device to do
more than it's designed for (at least to a point) probably because you are
infringing on the licensed air waves or something. Doesn't apple claim you
can't modify the iphone - even though people do? Again, ianal but seems I've
heard things like this. How that affects ms I don't know.
