I can't take it anymore!


I see it more and more on NGU, some of you know what topic I'm bringing up others will hopefully understand my point after these fue lines.

Why did you jailbreak?


  1. To get free games and apps
  2. To use my iDevice to its' fullest


Hope you answered this as honest as possible, I my self jailbreaked the first time in December, back then I did it for these two reasons, which is wrong, you should do it for one reason, reason number two. The jailbreak community is going down, the community is fild with people who are only after piracy, discusting in my opinion. I uninstalled Installous in February since I realiced that this was cruel to the developers of the apps and the community over all.
So what did you answer?

Maybe you say this "Im poor, I don't afford apps"

1 Why do you have an iDevice which is expensive?
2 Most apps cost 1 dollar, it's nothing! Those who develop the apps are like you and me, they go to school/work all day, but on their spair time they sit down and code, to make their own app, maybe make some money on the side, don't be a jerk and download it for free, pay for it!

The dev-teams and the other people involved with jailbreaking iDevices are not interested in piracy, all they want is an more open system that lets them mod it the way they want, they wont make more jailbreaks if all it does is give you the ability to download free games.


One last thing, on a interview on Modmyi.com with Stefan Esser [i0n1c] he projects this for the future:

STEFAN: I guess the jailbreak community might kill itself very soon. It is swamped by supposedly 12 year olds that only want to jailbreak to install pirated software and heavily insult everyone involved in making jailbreaks. And now these people already started hacking developer systems in order to steal jailbreaks. Comex and other keyplayers will soon get so tired of the iPhone jailbreaking scene that they will move to another target. I guess it just depends on the availability and coolness of the next closed system that comes around.

In conclusion, don't be a jerk, use your jailbreak for hombrews and other tweaks, NOT for piracy! We might save the community!

Leechers don't have 1,400 posts, sorry.
At least in my house, we don't have the money to even pay our bills, why should i PAY for apps that are completely worthless?

I'm so happy that many of you have showed your support and that you dont use installous. I se one way of the sulotion is to complitely bann the repo from Cydia, but then Sourik would be just like apple :/ I couldn't quote all of you and give you a personal answer since most of the will get similar answers, hope you understand Smile

Leechers don't have 1,400 posts, you're correct, but a leecher also never pays and just grabs stuff for free. If they are completely worthless then you don't need them so there's no reason to download them from Installous, I pay for everything in my house to, I dont afford all the fancy stuff, I don't have the ability to buy every app that I want, but I dont download them for free because of that since I think it's rude to the developers and is destroying the community

Well, when i have money left over because i didn't buy my apps, movies, games, music, and all that other shit, i'll be laughing at people like you who pay for things you can get for free.

Doesn't matter if its rude, its what i do to stay financially balanced.

So when you make something that can get you 2k$ and you instead make 20$ because people get it for free, will you still laugh? Most of the apps in the App store have free alternatives, which I use. When you stay financially balanced, you put someone else in the shit

The odds of that many people pirating your app are extremely low.
As a matter of fact, take a look at this graph!

Most people don't even know what a jailbreak is. Seriously, jailbreakers are usually around the age of 12-20.
I doubt the number has changed much
