Don't really see why it's a big deal, people still did it regardless of whether it was legal or not.

Rules were made to be broken. =p

 

The point is is that I can now rip and burn porn and say it's for anatomy and biology classes.

 

Haha that made me laugh.
Jailbreaking, IMO, was never really illegal.. I took my iPod to the Apple store, because it was bricked due to a shitty jailbreak, and they knew it was Jailbroken, I paid em 10 bucks and they fixed it.. I also used to charge people over craigslist for me to jailbreak iPod's/iPhones. It was good money for a while. But the whole DVD ripping thing is awesome! We can now rip porn in peace As long as it's for "educational purposes". >.<

 

Im really glad beacause my iPod always Lag might next weekend ill give the shop back and get new iPod again. Im dont want download on jailbreaking on my iphone might they could damage on iphone they could be risk. I dont have Phone insurance.

 

lol . now when anything happens to my iphone i wont have to reformat again ;o

 

This is only in the USA, isn't it?

 

ur grammar makes me cringe OMG


Yeah more than half of all iPhones are Jailbreak so it doesn't really matter after all.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't ilegal before as my brother tried to take his iPhone back to Genius bar and they told him they wouldn't do anything because of the Jailbreak. If it was illegal he would of been arrested..

 

Sweet it's about time this was legalized..now just software piracy *crosses fingers* lol.
