I'm kinda wondering if someone could explain to me whether it's legal or illegal to unlock a mobile phone.

Case in point: I buy a second-hand mobile phone from Japan, take it to Europe, unlock it there and use it with the SIM card of a European provider.

I'm wondering if this is illegal and also if it's safe (e.g. the original owner can't reach my private info)

I believe there is a class action suit v ATT for locking phones. As far as I know, its legal here.
