In this video, I discuss a big controversy surrounding the act of jailbreaking (hacking) iPhones and iPod Touches from Apple. In complaint submitted to the Copyright Office as part of the 2009 DMCA triennial rulemaking, Apple states that jailbreaking is illegal. Apple claims, according the EFF, that "opening the iPhone to independently created applications will compromise safety, security, and reliability, and swing the doors wide for those who want to run pirated software." I believe this action was coming in light of the recent release of piracy software such as Crackulous. Apple literally has no choice but to take this stance. I know a lot of you believe jailbreaking your iPhone is a "right" and Apple is in the wrong here, but I believe that they really don't have a choice. Pirates are literally taking money from iPhone/iPod Touch app developer's pockets who trusted Apple to protect their products. Personally, I can live without jailbreaking and was planning to restore my iPhone even before this announcement. The iTunes App Store has made this easier since before its availability, jailbreaking was almost a must. Overall, I'm saddened it has come to this, but like with other software, it's the pirates who ruin it for paying customers.

Original song. Gravesite at the end of this video belongs to the infamous Lizzie Borden.

http://www.myspace.com/marsinfurs This is a chunky little slice of surf-infused garage rock I wrote a few years ago. The lyrics are futile but if you can overlook that, I think you'll find it quite enjoyable. Be sure to follow the link above to hear more of my music. Share this with friends if you enjoy it!
