This is the exact reason Apple doesn't want JB to be ligitmised. JB and use original softeware is one thing, JB and use pirated software is another. You're ruining the playground for people.
but Jailbreaking is legitimized. They just don't want Title 17 Chapter 12 of the US code (the copyright section) to be modified to specifically say "jailbreaking is legal" because everyone that thinks things are legal/illegal solely by what they hear people say would then jump on jailbreaking and feel okay about it.
an excerpt from Title 17 chapter 12 section f:
"a person who has lawfully obtained the right to use a copy of a computer program may circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a particular portion of that program for the sole purpose of identifying and analyzing those elements of the program that are necessary to achieve interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs"
the only thing you are "breaking" is Apple's EULA, which is only valid if you bought the phone from AT&T, in the United States. If you use the iphone on Tmobile, ignore the EULA. If you bought your Iphone from Ebay, ignore the EULA, if you bought your phone in Europe, ignore the EULA.
"he only thing you are "breaking" is Apple's EULA" Except in the case of Appulo.us which i highly doubt ANYONE who installs programs from that site on their phone end up buying them. So you are BREAKING the law via copyright infringement.

Who coined the term 'jailbreak' btw? The coolest word when used legally!
Jailbreaking has nothing to do with piracy. Sorry buddy, all you did was tell us what you would do.
