A couple of night ago, Mrs. W was watching Channel 4 News<\/a> as they ran a lengthy package on “how iPhone jailbreaking is fuelling app piracy<\/a>“.\u00c2\u00a0 The trouble is that Channel 4’s Benjamin Cohen seems\u00c2\u00a0to have confused jailbreaking (the process of allowing non-authorised applications to be installed, rather than using Apple’s walled garden approach) with piracy (copying, distributing and installing applications against the wishes of the software creator).<\/p>\n

I have a jailbroken iPhone – and it’s not so that I can pirate apps.\u00c2\u00a0 Frankly, if you’re a teenager who’s made a hundred grand in your bedroom from writing iPhone games, well done and good luck to you.\u00c2\u00a0 But don’t complain when there are 20% more people running your software than paid for it – you should have thought more how you were going to control the use of your app.<\/p>\n

The reason my phone is jailbroken is simple\u00c2\u00a0– I want to use an alternative music player (Spotify) whilst I’m tracking my exercise progress (with Runkeeper).\u00c2\u00a0 That requires multi-tasking and Apple doesn’t allow multitasking on my iPhone 3G.\u00c2\u00a0 In a sense that’s OK – the IOS4 operating system that allows multitasking seems to need more powerful hardware (so why it’s available for the 3G is anyone’s guess) but I can make it work using a simple jailbreak and an application called Backgrounder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basically, Apple charged me a lot of money for a desirable piece of computing hardware and is their business model relies on increasing obsolescence so that I buy a new device.\u00c2\u00a0 If I have the technical ability to make that hardware do more for me and avoid buying a new phone, then why shouldn’t I?\u00c2\u00a0 I haven’t installed any unlicensed software, I’m not putting additional load on my mobile provider’s network, and the hardware is out of warranty already.\u00c2\u00a0 You could even argue that, by not buying a new iPhone, I’m making better use of my legacy computing device and doing my bit to save the planet!<\/p>\n

It’s kind of analogous to the guys who “mod” their cars to move away from the manufacturer’s specifications.\u00c2\u00a0 Sure, they won’t get warranty support, but if they get a few more horsepower or\u00c2\u00a0whatever it is they are looking for\u00c2\u00a0out of their vehicle, that’s up to them.<\/p>\n

So, back to the point – whilst it may be possible to use jailbroken phones for piracy, jailbreaking does not equal piracy.\u00c2\u00a0 If I was so inclined, I could run unlicensed copies of Windows on my PC, or install an unlicensed copy of Adobe Photoshop on my Mac, but I don’t hear national broadcasters suggesting that all Windows or Mac\u00c2\u00a0users are software pirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
