I figured since we, the consumer, can buy ink for different printers under anyone other than the name brand, would this be legal?

Using the phone without AT&T's two-year service contract was unauthorized under the phone carrier's exclusive network service contract with Apple, Siegel added.
"Any other use of the device is not authorized and we can't guarantee the device will perform as intended to. We'll monitor situations like this and if necessary we will take appropriate action," he said. "Our terms and conditions are very clear."
He did not elaborate on potential action AT&T might take.Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris declined to comment on Johansen's claims.
