He (the developer) is wrong. If he has no permission to download the binaries that is where Apple will nail him. The other issue is that Apple's design has been messed with, which is their right to keep intact.
If a user feels they'd rather break the law than pay for a product, the product is clearly at fault. Apple made this very clear when they opened the iTunes Store to take on Music Piracy. If people would prefer to go about the hassle of 'pirating' Siri than buy a 4S, Apple have got something wrong. I'd say it was that they didn't offer Siri to 4 and 3GS users.
I wonder if you apply the same logic to the things that you own.Apple doesn't have an obligation to make Siri available to anyone that wants it.

So Sony got it wrong when they did not release software to make Madden 2012 work for my original Playstation? The product is not clearly at fault in either of these. The product evolved just as the software evolved. So the user can choose to move up in products, if not stay on the one you have.
how do you turn it on...i dont see the gui.I've downloaded this but don't have an iphone 4s to test a proxy on. Will the siri gui only show up when a working proxy is inputed?
nevermind forgot you have to tun it on

A fair point. Anyone who has used Apple products for a while now should not expect to be able to get the latest software features without the latest hardware, even though your hardware is more than capable of it (iCloud and the Mac App Store is another example, I feel Leopard or even Tiger users should be able to use it).
I wasn't trying to justify stealing what is essentially software that has to be purchased. I was just stating that it is understandable that people do it, when Apple make such consumer hostile decisions such as restricting Siri to the 4S and iCloud to Lion. Apple have no right to complain when people pirate Siri instead of buying a 4S, especially when they have demonstrated why consumers pirate in the first place.
lol at all the 4s owners trying to scare ppl. Bet you all have downloaded music, movies, games on your computer and don't worry about it being legal or not. Hypocrites
It would seem that the real story here is that the original iPhone 4 is more than capable of running Siri just fine and that Apple apparently lied to their own customers when they claimed otherwise.

If a user feels they'd rather break the law than pay for a product, they've decided the punishment/risk is relatively minor

In today's USA you have no idea whether you're breaking the law without consulting a lawyer. Or maybe i should say you ARE breaking the law daily, maybe even hourly and while you sleep, there are so many of them.
Plus you're changing the subject. He didn't say the developers were breaking the law, he meant you probably are if you do this.
Doesn't matter, once the software in on YOUR device you can do what you want with it. If i buy a car can the car manufacture tell me i can't get new wheels? No, Once it is on my computer i can do what i want with it.

If you have to have an iPhone 4S what's the point?!?
The point is -
For a lot of people (like me) Every time I've gotten a new iPhone, someone else in my family would be getting an upgrade as well (My old phone)
I got a 3gs, when the 4 came out, I gave the 3gs to my mom, and when the 4s came out, I gave my 4 to my dad. So now, I can give them both access to siri. This is the legal grey-area here.
I also have a 64gb iPT 4, which I can now put This is the phone at the cabin 865 448 3521 cause Freddie said the service there sucks and wanted me to pass it on on.
Superb.
