On the legality of hacking the iPhone

The Belgian minister for Economy was seen with an iPhone recently. However Apple does not sell these things in Belgium.

So he got a little call from a journalist, according to him the only entity that could make him stop using a liberated iPhone is Apple and "until I get their summons to the court I'll continue using it" he then continued "and according to the people I spoke to, this is perfectly legal".

That was almost worth the 2 hours drive through the worst traffic ever...

A similar issue happened here a few months ago with Willem-Alexander and Maxima:
