U don't only get multitasking with jb
there are loads of tons of stuff u can do when jailbroken
100% customisable ipad best thing I can think off
Awesome. And not everyone that Jailbreaks do it for free apps. Customization is where it's at, as well as Apps that were declined, or never had a chance of being distributed in the App Store.
This open's up the possibilities to create some pretty awesome custom UI's, including making used of all that extra space on the lockscreen.

Great. Now the pirates can steal the iPad apps I've developed as well.
I don't condone the illegal downloading of software, but most people who do it, I don't think, would have bought the app anyway so no one is loosing out financially.
What difference does it make to you (or any developer) if ten people are using your app that didn't pay for it. There is no on-cost to you. It's not as if every copy used costs you money to distribute.
Software is intangible. It's not like the devs spend three weeks working hard building an outhouse for someone and then never got paid. THAT would be three weeks work lost.
I'm sure most people who DO download without paying are only mildly interested in the APP and probably try it and delete it within minutes anyway.
I have bought a few apps through Cydia and that's it.

Combat it with price and quality. Many people will pay reasonable sums. Many of the iPad apps out now are not reasonably priced.

I really doubt people are wanting to jailbreak this device just so they can steal your apps.

There's a great piece on Gizmodo on App Piracy that states about 10% of iPhones are Jailbroken, meaning 1 and 10 iPhone users has the ability to run pirated Apps. That number usually falls to 5% after an OS update, and slowly creeps back to 10% once a Jailbreak is available for the updated OS.
Further more, they make a great point about those that do pirate Apps:
Article: The Myth of iPhone App Piracy
The only thing I would consider JailBreaking for is Tethering to the iPhone, if that is at all possible.
That's just more work for the iPhone Dev Team or Geohot. Apple can look at how Sony is combating piracy with the PSP/PS3. I haven't seen hacks for the PS3 yet and PSP CFW is getting harder and harder.

Developers should really ask apple why they put so much effort in stopping jailbreakers while do put ZERO effort in releasing a new fairplay version for iphone apps.
This is quite an interesting read: http://www.complicatedstuff.com/2009/05/apple-needs-to-play-cat-and-mouse-with.html
I jailbreak for many reasons, none of which is to steal software.
In fact I've already spent 30 bucks in ipad apps before I can even get the ipad (i'm in Europe).
