Just as Apple has the right to design and manufacture their devices as they see fit, you have the right to buy or not buy those devices.

Exactly and AFTER I buy them, they should not be able to stop me from doing as I see fit, as I, not Apple, now own them.

Well this is going south

Since when is jailbreaking a form of piracy?

You can do anything you want with your iDevice. Just be prepared to void your warranty and possibly be excluded from connecting to the Apple infrastructure for iTunes, the App Store or iCloud support in the future.

We fully expect that Apple is collecting information on jail broken devices for identification purposes now - they just don't use the information for anything other than internal statistics today.

Our customers who provide syndicated content require their application to disable itself on a jail broken device to prevent that content from being downloaded and redistributed. Some of these companies are very large and carry significant weight with Apple to make this easier for them to do.

Though jail breaking is not piracy, all pirates are jail broken, so stopping one does also stop the other.

I don't consider jailbreaking pirating.. If you are using it to get software without paying that is wrong.... But if you, like me, are jailbreaking because we want to tweek iOS device to do things we think it should [or want it to], the that is not wrong IMO......

How so? I always wondered what the big thing is with this jailbreak deal? Does it really make the device that much better?

It takes me about 2 steps to download an attachment in my email to my non-jail broken iPad.
