He did say all JBers are pirates. But you have to be a JBer to pirate. Therefore, the statement "you JBers need to stop pirating" is 100% true.
Yarrrrrr
Sorry, had to.

The JailBreaking community as caused me a loss of 80,000$ and it's time to take action against this.
Thank you, Unspoken Demise. I don't see how I could word that any different anyways. It's not like non-jailbroken users can pirate apps.
I said, "you jailbreakers". I didn't say anyone specifically. The people who pirate know who you are, the others that don't shouldn't worry and take offence of this if you know you're not part of this group.

How do you know that is the amount?

Just because you have 100k pirated users, doesn't mean that without pirating you would have an extra 100k paying users. Most pirates aren't going to buy your application anyway, so you can't count every pirated user as a lost sale. I'd say at best you are looking at 1 in 100 pirated users would buy your app if they couldn't get it for free. So you lost closer to $8,000, still a big loss, but no where near as bad as your initial figure makes it sound.
If Apple would loosen their grip on the iphone just a little bit then it would keep a lot of people from jailbreaking. Adding things like backgrounding and something similar to what sbsettings does would keep me from jailbreaking. Because those are the two reasons I keep my iphone jailbroken.
It doesnt matter if it is 80,000; 8,000; 800; or 8$.
Its still money that Pika is entitled to, and it isnt fair that he not be able to make that money for his/ his team's hard work.
I understand your post was not belittling piracy, im using your post as a jump point, not really directed at you.

Look at Beejive. To my knowledge that's the only application that has proven to be uncrackable (permanently).

I agree. Jailbreaking must be stopped, as it enables piracy.
People are losing thousands of dollars.....for what?
So others can have wallpaper behind their icons and run apps simultaneously? The cost far exceeds the benefits. Start attacking it, now.
