Cost of App Store Piracy Pegged at $450 Million

[mouse.]

I understand that iPhone piracy is theoretically possible, but how can they possibly suggest that 75% of all apps in circulation are on the devices of users who are savvy enough to figure out how to do it?! That's simply absurd. You can't simply download an iPhone app like you would download a copy of Windows or Photoshop. The authors of this report obviously don't know that.

I don't know about the States but people preforming jailbreak services are really common here. You don't have to be tech savvy, just go on craigslist and find someone to do it. $10-20. And voila, free apps....

Wait!! It's ok to pirate Apple if it benefits ones personally, right?

Haha, finaly this piracy stuff reach the macrumors. Honestly, all my paid apps are pirated one, i never spent a single penny on the appstore. In my country piracy are common. All my buddies use pirated game on their devices, in a big forum there was once a survey and 85% of them use the pirated apps on their ithings
