.......it is illegal. At least to a certain point. You're modifying Apple's OS, and that's a no no. Though I'm no lawyer

I'm not modding, I'm just running unsgned scripts. Why would you think there is a "Installer apps sections in here at TA if it was illigal?

It's not illegal at all. Apple tried to pass that it was illegal and failed.

They say it is so they can scare people into not doing it.

You own the device, you can do whatever you want with it.

Ahh... Just that he tried to tell me that "Downloading a cracked app isn't illegal", and your names and the thread are... similiar, that's all.

Of course, cracking apps is illigal. But I have like so much money in my iTunes account, I will never do that! Also, it's illigal:cool:

Ahhh.....that's what I've always thought but I remember Apple trying to pass something that would make it illegal and thought they succeeded.

Well it depends what you do with it. Since I dont know anything technical about it, I have one rule of thumb. If you download anything that normally costs money on the ipod for free, then its illegal.

So basically, jailbreaking is legal, but whatever you do can be illigal? Such as downloading instalous?

Downloading ********** means you're gonna use cracked apps, which yes I think are illegal.

idk what instalous is, but yeah. Thats the main reason I havent jailbroken yet. That and the chance of getting viruses.

Viruses? No. Cydia has a grading system to. They install whatever just to make sure it has no bugs or viruses.

So are you asking us to explain why Jailbreaking isn't a company that researches nature's algorithm of choice. Just explain that Jailbreaking isn't a company :D

He mentioned something that the admins don't want talked about, obviously... probably something that aids piracy.
