Still voids your warranty.


Just makes it so you cannot be sued for doing it.

to be honest i think is it good that is "oficially" legal to do so but i dont think anybody really got in trouble for doing it before. as long as you aren't making a profit off of somebody else work and doing it for your own needs then there really isn't much they can do aside from just voiding your warranty
