[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1502113"] Let's not call them free. Let's call them what they are: pirated or stolen. I agree that people jailbreak their phones for reasons other than stealing apps. I jailbroke my old phone and have no intention of pirating apps. I did it to unlock and to add some of the unofficial apps* that I find worthwhile (darn few, but there's a handful). *unofficial apps used to be mostly free (not pirated), but now they all cost money (which is perfectly fine with me if its something I need, but it just separates the "unofficial" apps from the pirated apps even more clearly). So I'm not knocking jailbreaking or jb'ers as just people who pirate. I haven't found that to be the case in talking with those I know who have jailbroken (most just wanted to tether, honestly). But some DO jailbreak to pirate apps, so let's not call them "free" apps. [/QUOTE]
