I'm sure there are other ways to unlocked it, because when the storm launched I knew a TON of people on ATT who got one.
Verizon's pretty good at unlocking the device for you, but they only (presently) do it with their own customers.

The U.S. Library of Congress' Copyright Office has revised a 1998 federal law that was put in place to block people from hacking past software locks installed on devices by their makers to block unauthorized use. The new exceptions to the law will allow users of the iPhone, for example, to legally "jailbreak" their device and install unauthorized applications without fear of reprisal from Apple or law enforcement. The revised law will also let used cell phone owners unlock their handsets so they can switch carriers if they wish. Other changes affect digital rights management (DRM) as applied to video game...

If this were the case, Apple would have to offer to jailbreak the phone for you (which they don't)
This just prevents carriers and hardware makers from going after (legally) the people who hack devices, or provide unlock codes.
"The revised law will also let used cell phone owners unlock their handsets so they can switch carriers if they wish."
For example, I used to have Tmobile. They would NOT unlock phones unless you completed a certain length of contract with them, and then only if your payment history was good.
ATT used to refuse to unlock any devices, meaning that the only way to unlock them would be the shady self unlock or paying some other company to do it for you.
This provision is for used phones, which means ones purchased from some source other than direct from story (or have the person out of contract). It still isn't worded to allow a customer to walk into a store, buy a phone and ask for it to be unlocked.
