Don't forget though, these mobiles are subsidised by the networks, fair play to them for wanting you to use it on their network. If they didn't lock it, you'd be paying a hell of a lot more for your phone.
Look how much it costs on pre pay, and even then it's still subsidised, just to a lesser extent.
I don't think the comparison with drm etc.. is fair. Only if you pay full whack retail cost for the phone would it be unfair to stay network locked.
