Along with the Jail Break now being legal for the iPhone. There is also other things that are now legal to do that were not legal. Below list the few new things like being about to make non commercial videos out of your dvds that you purchased. Also now being able to remove DRM from games without having to pirate the game. This is big big news.
The only thing that this did not cover was console modding, and I did see a story about someone being arrested for it today. Yet, I could see it maybe covered with this ruling today. Pirating games is not the only thing useful about cracking consoles.
