I can only assume you're referring to the jailbreaking of the Apple TV. It's not "dodgy" according to the U.S. Copyright Office...

It might be isn't legal in the US or in the UK, or anywhere else this website is accessible from.
That is why we practice a word called restraint. It might be neat to post it, but do you have the right to post it from Saint's website?
What? Its legal for iphone? Is it legal for AppleTV? Have you looked?
Is it fine for me to start publishing links to hacking software? I do not think so and if you did it on my website without my permission you WOULD get a life ban.
I'm all for free speech and everything, but I am also for common sense. ::)
Here is the link for the ruling. And the iphone ruling is not just for iphones but could be used for any wireless device, but you will see that the AppleTV is not wireless and is not the same. [/spoiler]

Yeah I know it sounds like its the same considering it is iOS and everything, it is not and could land anyone caught in hot water.
It is my experience not to tempt the genie out of the bottle, especially Apple.
I have looked at this copyright statement again, and it looks like they changed the ruling on computer software archiving. It seems:
(4) Video games accessible on personal computers and protected by technological protection measures that control access to lawfully obtained works, when circumvention is accomplished solely for the purpose of good faith testing for, investigating, or correcting security flaws or vulnerabilities, if:
(i) The information derived from the security testing is used primarily to promote the security of the owner or operator of a computer, computer system, or computer network; and
(ii) The information derived from the security testing is used or maintained in a manner that does not facilitate copyright infringement or a violation of applicable law.
Puts a real glimmer of hope of the legality of Mame now, considering that security testing was not a goal for circumvention, or maybe I should be more adoptive with this.
5) Computer programs protected by dongles that prevent access due to malfunction or damage and which are obsolete. A dongle shall be considered obsolete if it is no longer manufactured or if a replacement or repair is no longer reasonably available in the commercial marketplace....
Well I can crack open those 2600 and C64 carts now. Neogeo?
Could all change in 3 years though...
