I've had my iPod Touch jailbroken for the past two years now. While it's technically illegal, Apple hasn't done anything to prosecute jailbreakers- although it does void your warranty.
I think Apple's reaction toward jailbreaking has been wrong. After you buy a device, you own it and should be able to do whatever you wish with it. A step in the right direction.
because then who made the app gets no money. I dont care though as long as i get it
Let him pick a career. Im not going to feel bad for someone who tries to get quick rich by creating intellectual property and expecting to sell each individual copy of that at full price.
"Apple's goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great experience with their iPhone, and we know that jailbreaking can severely degrade the experience," a company spokeswoman said in response to the Copyright Office ruling. "The vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones."
No really, do they not know that: 1. Jailbreaking is good for the customers experience. 2. The vast majority do jailbreak hem.
Uhh... I would LOOOOVE to see apple make jailbreaking thier phone illegal... sure officer, here is my ipod, we gonna put you away sonny, this is jailbreakin!!!
And as for copyright... HA! I once started a thread that covered the topic of P2P etc but it got derailed. I think I will start another one.
"Apple's goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great experience with their iPhone, and we know that jailbreaking can severely degrade the experience,"
I think the spokeswoman wasn't quite honest here. It should be "Apple's goal has always been to make money, and jailbreaking reduces our profits, so we are going to make public comments that make it seem bad for your phone, even though we know it isn't and that many iphone users do it."
