Apps should be supported via paying for them. They aren't a major company that makes millions.

The jailbreaking community does not support piracy. Specific people that jailbreak do. I personnally do not support piracy, and the majority of comments I've seen by jailbreakers also do not support it. I wish that the cracking apps had never happened, because I don't want Apple to focus on shutting jailbreaking down; I like being jailbroken.

@IphoneMilk Its not greed its wanting somthing that your phone company dosen't offer. Greed is like having Two I phones!

@Rene Richie...

Why buy the cow when I can get the milk for free? I am really confused on buying the Iphone for so much and not getting at least 30 dollars worth of songs a month. I think that our data plan being unlimited should unlimit the Itunes songs/videos a month. Lets rip em off!

Likewise, I buy my music from iTunes Plus.

However, the record/movie industry created piracy via price gouging initially. They lied and said CDs would be initially more expensive than tapes, but then kept jacking up prices even as costs fell (and they robbed many artists blind while doing so, milking both ends).

I think most people will pay a fair price for fair content. The music/movie industry's greed tried to get oligopolistic prices out of a fixed market. Then, instead of grafting a subscription model onto Napster, they tried to kill it.

All that has led to a generation of people who don't think they should pay for content, and that's shifting over to Apps.

I'm not saying "volume" pricing at 25c a song and $1 a movie, but fair pricing and there'd be much much less piracy as culture. It just wouldn't be worth the effort.

The music/movie industry is to blame, they need to fix it. And it's unfortunate Apps and devs suffer as a result of the same broken system.

right now if you Jailbreak your iPhone there's what? pretty much no risk involved...

if consequences were raised with ANYTHING really piracy related people would not do it..

and i'm talking about Risk of Jailtime etc etc.

with iPhones risk of going to jail or risk of your phone being Bricked for good no questions.

this is illegal right? so why not make it illegal... i mean that's what law is right? or am i confused...

it's like there is Law in place yet it's not being enforced.
