[quote=ā€œZoltan, post:15, topic:89267, full:trueā€]Itā€™s illegal outside of the US to lock down the system entirely without option for the user to unlock it. In the EU, there is even explicit legislation in the making that will prohibit any hardware to be delivered with a mechanism that locks down the software, with the exception of specific devices that contain radios or have access to the radio spectrum.

Can you tell me which law in EU makes it illegal? Iā€™d love to tell Acer that my laptop is illegally locked (Acer V5-171)

EDIT Nevermindā€¦ can be unlocked but nicely hidden by Acer
