By making available or providing tools with which one can jailbreak breaking copyright is considered faciliation of copyright as set in the recent pirate bay court case.

So, Apple saying its illegal doesnt make it....and for that reason we cant actually "get in trouble" for doing it.

The reason we are the way we are with anything cracked/pirated/warez (which really is by law illegal) is because this site MMi has been in more than one legal battle with Apple all ready and it costs $$$$
if u dont mind can u tell me what kind of lawsuit n about what...just interested

Ive said it before but ive never had a proper answer before.

dTunes is hosted on the MMi repo.

Legally there is no difference between dTunes and our favourite cracked app downloading app.

Its the loophole if you will that also helps places like thepiratebay and others.....

Dtunes is a peer to peer file sharing program, it hosts links not actual music, etc. So, technically its not illegal.

However, what you do with it is


PS- Lawsuits, well we've had to change the name of modmyi 2 times per lawsuits with Apple, also we've had to remove stuff we had in the downloads section (stuff we used to host) that was Apple proprietary. We've also come to an agreement with Apple with is mutually pleasing.....and it includes not linking/hosting the stuff we dont allow

Don't know y all these people come here to try and justify cracked apps? Ok I see ur point about jb, but by jb and using most stuff ur not stealing. I'm going college this year, buying a new pro & iPhone 3gs plus college fees to develop for AppStore, I have a whitebook and 3g already. I work for panasonic( good money) family of 4 to support. But all u crooks want to make me give up on this. U kinda make me sick. Ur no better than shop lifters. I already got forced out of uk garage scene cos of downloads & now this.

wow that is really hypocritical!!!!!!! A*****us doesn't host the files, it links to them. Its not like I*****us forces you to use illegal pirated apps, you can install apps you bought legally or homebrewed, right?

Legally jailbreaking is more illegal then pirating apps as jailbreaking infringes a whole OS not a 1-100mb program and most apps cost 99cents while the os (in theory with hardware) cost over $600

Saying jailbreaking just provides tools is like saying the downloading mac osx on pirate bay is less illegal then downloading a song on limewire!

How are pirates crook's? How are they no better then shoplifters?
If a shoplifter steals let's say a shirt the store not only loses the hypothetical profit (the chance he would might buy the shirt) and the physical property (so the shop has to go buy a new shirt so they can sell it). When a pirate 'shares' a pirated program the developer only loses the hypothetical profit (but most likely the pirate would not get the program if he couldn't get it for free). The shop lifter creates losses to the shop owner but the pirate does not make you loss anything as he would never buy your program.

It wasn't pirates who forced you out of the 'garage scene' but your crappy programing. If they didn't pirate your program they would have not bought it anyways and in the end you would have failed anyways. They actually might have helped with making the program more popular and interesting some potential buyers who do not use pirated software.

I find it silly when developers think that every pirated app downloaded equals loss of profit.

Ethically jailbreaking can be justified by saying you do not steal apple's code, you just change it and distribute it but you can also justify pirating by saying the developer does not lose property just hypothetical profit (as most people wouldn't buy the app if it wasn't pirated)

Maybe in this forum's populations' minds jailbreaking is more ethical it is still 'more' illegal. I personally don't care and believe pirating isn't that bad (still not that ethical, or legal) because I'm not creating a loss of physical property or profit because there is an infinite amount of app downloads and i would not buy the app anyways, but i do have regrets if the app uses a developers' server as i did not pay for the electricity.

Last let's answer the question, no the appstore will not update cracked apps but if you use the iphone app that installs cracked apps with an updated version of the app it will update properly.

PS if you have questions like this head over Here <-- note that site is highly not illegal but contains a community that may help you in using illegaly cracked apps.

Jailbreaking is a free program offered by the devs. Does apple offer free apps? Yes some but not all, if you want those that aren't you need to buy them. Otherwise, it's theft.
