Legality

Is this legal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.141.2 (talk)

Do you mean: is installing Cydia legal? Random Wikipedia readers probably aren't the best people to ask; you can decide for yourself by reading some news articles. Dreamyshade (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

It isn't legal (Cydia is legal , but jailbreaking isn't). But nothing will happen to you if you use it so feel free to do so Bang! (talk) 12:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

The legality of jailbreaking is still in question. Apple Inc. has claimed that is illegal under the DMCA while the EFF has asked the Copyright Office to make an exemption for jailbreaking: Apple Says iPhone Jailbreaking is Illegal | Electronic Frontier Foundation.

It's also a question of where you live. DMCA = U.S. only. 154.5.62.248 (talk) 17:22, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
