Users right to hack the devices, and the software that runs in them, shouldn't be questioned at an level. It should be a given than users have the right do any modification they want to any device they lawfully bought, and even to share how they did such hack.
If there should be a limit, is that users should not profit with those hacks without compensating the original vendor. Even though the people who do the hacking can expect some sort of compensation for the time they invested making a hack useful, there should be a clear limit on how that compensation is made. Yet, users should be allowed to share with others within some reasonable limits.
Those limits shouldn't make it impossible for users to actually hack their devices, just how they are allowed to share the information about how to do a hack and how they can expect to be compensated for the time and effort put into doing so.
The most important thing is that users must remain on what goes on their devices, not the companies that make the devices we buy. Even if some users never hack their devices, there is no reason why their right to so away. While is true that most people will not hack in any way or form their devices, but they need to be able to do so if the need makes it a necessary at any point in time.
Yes, some instances of hacking are illegal and should be prosecuted. It's important to keep in mind that most hacking is quite harmless, and done just for the fun of learning something new. This kind of hacking has the potential to be most beneficial, since it can discover problems or come with new and better ways to do things.
We need to have clear rules that keep all hacking beneficial and practical for society at large. It's a case where the interests of the majority must be uphold over what a minority wants.
