Has AT&T ever caught you Jailbreaking?

AT&T caught me and spanked me hard
Was this before, after or during the cavity search?
I have to wonder what might happen to those employees if the right person saw their phones. I;m assuming they would be trying to find the nearest Best Buy for a job on the Geek Squad.

... whoops, see what I did there?They are more coworkers then friends, but point wasn't why people JB; the point was how people pirate. You can bury your head in the sand and deny it all you want, but it's clear that piracy is a significant issue for iOS and the App Store. Apple has an ethical (and legal) responsibility to their shareholder and developers to protect their IP. As I said before, 100% of piracy on the iPhone is accomplished via JB. In Apple's mind eliminating JB is interchangeable with eliminating piracy.
I'm not arguing that Apple shouldn't allow JB (I'd love a supported JB), I'm arguing that they simply cant.
Apple claims that 3G Facetime is coming. They just didn't say when. No charge for the tethering that Apple allows is the only other major thing I would want & not feel like I wanted/needed to JB.

And you liked it.
Oh you naughty boy !

Where u been bro?
I saw u on time out earlier.
What happened?
You know, people judge you by the company that you keep... Save a few, people I know that jb can't find the return key on a keyboard and they always come to me to fix their mistakes. They're just not capable of cracking.
I've been jb'ing since day one. AT&T has never been the wiser. I've been in AT&T and apple stores and my phone makes noises that just aren't possible, and I've never even had a sideways glance. If they can tell, they don't care. Now that it's not "illegal", there's not much they can say.
I know, don't hang out with anyone that pirate apps, music cd's etc....
Those kind of people will ruin your life and put you to jail
I don't want to be a bitch, but can you back that up with documentation? This is the same excuse the riaa spouted post-napster when legal mp3 downloads started to become available (I.e. iTunes). Your argument (that I didn't quote) has logic, but in my experience most people just don't have the skills to actually "pirate". It takes work and knowledge, which any original jailbreaker can attest to. Everyone dips their toes in the pirate waters, but most of us really don't have the time to patch our stuff constantly.
I had a friend call me up and ask me to build her a hackintosh netbook, knowing that she can't find the start button in windows, I politely declined. It may be what all the cool kids are doing, but its not necessarily what all the smart kids are.

No they don't care. My contacts wouldn't transfer to my iPhone when it came back from apple. I Jailbroke the device and never really thought about them caring. This was back in December and the sales rep's iPhone was JB'd, I saw cydia on his springboard.

Impersonating Talest Skil maybe?
I needed a replacement microsim, I walked into the store in Stoneridge mall (Pleasanton, CA), and the 20 year old behind the counter saw I used LockInfo on my home screen. Immediately, he asked if I "used the website to jailbreak it" or the "program", we talked for a couple minutes about jailbreakme, and cool Cydia apps, he was totally fine with it.

There was a bunch of them with that avatar, I dont think they all got put out
For the record, I support JB. I was putting forward why Apple has such a negative position towards it (devils advocate). I'm not going to provide documentation, because I already said the numbers are skewed (percent of lost sales exceeds percent of JB devices); However, a quick Google search (keywords: iphone piracy rate) will give you enough articles from research groups and perturbed developers for Apple to feel justified.
While I applaud you for not knowing the current state of installing pirated apps. It's little more then a new repo in Cydia and installing a new app that handles the rest for you. Appul$%^ has made the process disturbingly easy.
