I think the DMCA has an exemption for jailbreak and root, at least on cell phones, hence it is illegal for Sony to lock the bootloader and prevent installation of other software on devices which we own. We can look through the law and see if we can provide a formal challenge to Sony on this matter.

I just signed. Hope sony will get some penalty. It's really painful to have such a tablet now.
Why should you hope Sony get a penalty? I thought this was about getting the bootloader unlocked not getting Sony fined. I just want them to fix it so the Tablet S is something use able rather than declared obsolete and unsupported such a short time after release. I want to see Sony supporting the early adopters of its Tablets rather than discarding them!

zero, I received an e-mail from you telling to contact Sony if I wish for a full refund. But then I went to the Sony Community forum and couldn't see where should I write to. Can you please share further info about what they said to you and what we need to do?

ok, but did he mention anything about the original Sony Tablet S? (1.Gen) I truly don't understand why the Xperia S is unlockable but the Sony S isn't?! It doesn't make sense! Does it?

Do you think there will be any chance for them to unlock the bootloader if we could get more signatures? Say 500?

Please everyone! Sign it :).

Sony VAIO made their version of the android OS and making it Closed Source is pretty much against the T&C therefore making it illegal.

They probably added in closed source code that comes from other companies, Qualcomm has there code closed source hence why when Sony released their AOSP build, for the Xperia Z, it was missing stuff. Being able to root/jailbreak/unlock bootloader is all in the grey area of the law.
