Legally purchase a $7 app and get screwed by the DRM.
Pirate a $7 app and subvert the DRM using a Jailbreak tweak like xCon.
It seems that this only hurts the legitimate users, as others will still be able to pirate the app.
- britta 13y agoJust to clarify what xCon does: it's intended for use with legally-purchased App Store apps that refuse to work correctly on jailbroken devices - xCon tricks those apps into thinking that they're running on non-jailbroken devices. So yes, the gun-jamming hurts legitimate users, but those legitimate users can use xCon to work around it. Here's some more documentation: http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/XCon http://theiphonewiki.com/wiki/XCon
