[vp3G]

eBay: Unlock your Cingular 8525 Works on all bootloaders (http://cgi.ebay.com/Unlock-your-Cingular-8525-Works-on-all-bootloaders_W0QQitemZ190106897014QQihZ009QQcategor yZ115054QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Seller is quite obviously an XDA member (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=471029).

EDIT: Guessing this (http://cgi.ebay.com/Unlock-Seimens-SX66-SX-66-xda-II-mda-qtek_W0QQitemZ190106908222QQihZ009QQcategoryZ11505 4QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) is "public domain" stuff from XDA, too...

[Oppressa]

Man, that member's website is dodgy! LOL

[shogunmark]

I think the thing i like best about his website is this:
Special Discounts for Teachers & Military, Firemen & Police, Rabbis & Ministers*

But then it gets better.. at the bottom of the page it states this:
* In this offer, the word "Ministers" should only be considered as referring to Christian Ministers. This offer decidedly does not extend to Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses or Muslim.

.............. :eek:
aint nothing better than close minded racist people.. the only thing missing from his website is the rebel flag... lol

[vp3G]

:eek: ...

Ironically, he offers the following "defense":

Do you know why you can reprint the King James Bible for sale, all day long, in all fifty states and most foreign countries? Because it is in Public Domain. All you have to do to be able to LEGALLY profit from it is to get a copy, make a copy and sell a copy.

:rolleyes:

[tallshorty]

This just PISSES me off! :mad:

He shows no respect towards the developers who worked hard on these programs!

[Shamanix]

OMFG!!!! This is too pathetic to be true !!!!! :eek: :rolleyes:

Where is my flamethrower !? :confused: :D

[m15chief]

did anyone notice the email, phone number and home address on the resume posted on his website? ;-) I wonder if he'd appreciate jehova, mormon and muslim spam posted to him ?

wow that really is something else.

Phone numbers on there too.

The website reminds me of the sites online in the mid 90's with flashing gifs e.t.c

In all fairness (I didn't look at his website) what you quoted isn't racism. It's bigotry, no doubt, but I don't see anything specific to race.

Anyway, what a tool. You can tell his plan was well thought out. :rolleyes:

This claim is made

Please Note
The software used to unlock the phone is Copyright to ICB NetSoultions, and is freely available from their web site. I do not provide this software directly. What you are buying is Help and Technical support to enable you to unlock your phone to enable you to use any sim card.

Notice to Ebay
According to ICB NetSolutions' terms and conditions I have advised them of this listing. I am not suppling any of their products directly. The statement below is from their terms and conditions:

"Inetmedia solutions data products may also be included in a 'kit' or other such promotion - in that case, written notification should be given at the email address provided above and copyright statements included on any repackaging of the product"

Is any of this correct...

The reason I ask, and ok, I did fall for it, before I knew a bit more about the unlocker from this site.. I thought it was an alternative method, and it was v3 of the very same software!!!

Some advice would be appreciated......

[Madcap180]

The king james bible IS NOT signed by a publisher or author, which is WHY it can be redistributed.. however, software contains signatures by the developer.

Inetmediasolutions is a dodgy VERO holder - see here:

It seems someonelse tied together a lot of unlockers and made them freely available. So the question is - did this guy pinch from us or him? In the end of course the development originated here.

Go ahead and report it to e-bay folks.

what a shame... well, i do believe in bad karma...

Exactly, I do also. I busted a guy trying to do the same thing on craigslist a few months ago and he stopped.

I think this guy went to the Helen Keller school for web design.

[hiimcliff]

if that company has it copyrighted and you can prove that you created it first you have a law suite. i dont know how microsoft or htc would react. :o

HTC / Microsoft won't do anything and if they really do, the would go after XDA first that's because the program is developed by XDA.

his IP should be banned:mad:

i have also seen people try to sell xda unlock code on craigslist

[wpbear]

I think a GOOD PERMANENT BAN is in order!

[Kevbodian]

funny, if you click his feedback he is selling themes he *made or *found of actresses. I guess that's public domain too. Or I guess they wouldnt care if someone was making $5 off of their pictures.

Also, I noticed that on every single auction that this Keith Thomas Jenkins has written, there are TERRIBLE spelling and grammar errors throughout. I wouldn't purchase from anyone who has such terrible grammar and such an ugly webpage. I don't care is he is *OLD_SCHOOL Windows 3.something or not.
