Apple aren't legally preventing you from running anything. If you're clever enough to do it, go nuts. If you think they're making it too hard, tough luck. Their products aren't built to spec; you're not entitled to a product that works any differently than the one they sold you.
If you buy a microwave and you want to run custom software on it, that is your problem, not the microwave manufacturers.

They tried to, though. >> Apple's request to define copyright law to include jailbreaking as a violation was denied as part of the 2009 DMCA rulemaking. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#United_States_legal_status http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#United_States_... There's a big difference between "we're not going to help you do X with your purchased item" and "we legally forbid doing X with your purchased item." The only thing keeping companies like Apple from doing this is our insistence that they don't.
