I don’t know why Apple is saying it is illegal becuase you own its your not theirs you bought it fair and sqaure. In our rights we have the private property which we buy, like the ipod touch and technically we bought it from them. Its yours and you can do anything you want to do with that ipod touch or iphone. So Apple shouldn’t claim jailbreaking is illegal.

Apple does not care about Jailbreaking, what they care about is am app in circulation on the net. They only way to use this app is via Jailbreak, essentially what its allows the end user to do is circumvent the IPOD of running signed code. Allowing the end user to run software found on the Apple App store, without having bought it legally. I think for all intents and purposes they are not in the wrong with that, I mean if you were loosing millions simply because people refused to buy what your selling only to find their stealing it. Then its called piracy, yes piracy exists even on the Ipod/Iphone welcome to reality.

Jailbreaking is and never will be illegal. It is your legal right to use the product you paid for. If we were leasing iPods and iPhones that would be diff lol. WE PAID FOR IT! The cracked apps may be like front tinted windows (illegal in many states but ppl still do it). I mainly jb for Cydia and simple things like missed call notifications and backgound apps. I promise if apple incorporated ALL of Cydia’s mods, I would sign a legal contract not to jailbreak and I would even pay more money a month on my iPhone bill. But since apple won’t, Ill be jailbreaking again when greenpois0n comes out! Take that apple!!!!!

It’s my phone… I paid for it. If I want to run over it with my car I can. If I want to adjust the settings and software, I can. If I want to throw it out a window, I can. If I want to jail break it, I can. Just because it’s an iPhone doesn’t mean Apple owns my soul now. Like Sam said, yes I may void the warranty, but by no means should it be considered illegal. Sheesh…

Jailbreaking / unlocking is similar to modifying a car. Once you buy a car, you can turbo the engine, add an aftermarket exhaust system, changing the lights, etc. It is YOUR car, and yes, some modifications will void a car’s warranty, but once you buy a car, it is your car and you SHOULD be able to do whatever you want with it.
