I have a question regarding this logic (it's a fragment of what was quoted in the OP):
Quote:

However, given copyright laws broad interpretation by the courts, it could be argued that merely unlocking your own smartphone takes a device of one value and converts it into a device of double that value (the resale market for unlocked phones is significantly higher) and therefore unlocking is inherently providing a commercial advantage or a private financial gain - even if the gain hasn't been realized.

If an artist would scratch their name on a smartphone wouldn't that increase the commercial value of the device?
