Apple's Lawyers Go for Legal Takedown on App Store Pirates

[Raybeast]

********** does not actually pirate the apps so why would Apple go for them? In my opinion apple would go for fileape, fileserve, and the others.

Didn't crapple pirate wifisync? And Siri?

They bought Siri. It's not like they stole code from WiFi Sync. People suggested that they add WiFi syncing before the Cydia package came out.

It's ok apple have plenty of cash to lose yet another one of their bully suits

Just because thye have plenty of cash to burn means nothing. They are running a business. Anyone that runs a business does it to make money not just sit there and let money go away.

Well that's what they're doing cos no way will they win a case like that many have tried before

No one here will admit to using the app with the green arrow. But most probably have it on their device or have used it in the past. For some people it's the reason they own an iDevice. That and tweaks.

Hey I admit that I've done it, I'm not right now cause its a 4s , and it was for trial purposes saying that so y'all don't yell at me for taking an app that's $30 bucks for free when I only use it like 2 times a month

Never had it on any of my devices. I been around the jailbreaking scene since 2G. You know before Apple even had an appstore. So it is not why I got my devices. That's just me though.

Command line Jailbreaking was great lol. Not this easy 1 button jailbreak stuff.

Lol Cer0 - same here.

I'm really enjoying paying for tweaks and apps in the Cydia Store - at least I know my money is going to the inventive, the thoughtful, the creative, (and the future mods Apple will integrate into the next iOS!!)

Yes, on paper Apple is theoretically losing money on pirated apps, music & movies. What's not taken into account, without a proper AppStore trial period as for mentioned many pirates instead of walking the plank actually add to the treasure & purchase because they love it! For eg. I was on YouTube the captain of its own pirate ship, with no intentions of buying anything that day. I converted blink 182's new song after midnight & within 2 seconds I went to iTunes & purchased the whole album.

The increase in sales if pirating was prevented, would be offset by the decrease in amount of people who tried something pirated, got inspired/assurance & purchased it legit!

If I like it or it's only $1 sure I'll pay but it gets kinda Scary when it's above $4, cause u might be basically flushing that down the drain if it sucks,

which is why apple should offer a 5 min trial 1 time open on ALL APPS

********** is a swear word apparently?

********** is a swear word apparently?

It has been on this site for years, ever since it's existence. Funny thing is it doesn't supply the apps. Just makes them easy to download.
