Well, legally/technically it might be. However I might
argue that when you bought it there was an implied license
that you could so such a thing. I'd like to know the names
of the "lots of people" who are going to jail for it. Cite
a case for me, please of someone going to jail for doing
this.

even the RIAA in its file sharing lawsuits doesn't send
people to jail. That would only be in a criminal
prosecution for copyright infringement brought by the doj.
