While most jailbreaks will take offence some of the attitudes that the main stream media take to the activity, It seems that theres always 2 sides that are projected and only 1 thats mostly focused on.
That being the view of jailbreaking enabling the downloading and installing of cracked/pirated applications which is generally frowned upon. However this is true not all the community supports this use, but saying that many jailbreaks openly do download pirated apps.
So is the illegal activity of downloading cracked apps ruining the image for all of us? I could easily say yes.
When ever you see a story in the media they continually focus on this fact. Not the fact that it opens up your device so the user dosent have to conform with apples idea of how their device should be used.
What ever happened to individualism and freedom? Even china a country renown for its control over everything, you are able to apparently able to buy a pre-jailbroken device there. --->So why is this phenomenon of placing jail-breaking as the 8th deadly sin so popular? could it be with the propaganda that seems to be flowing from a un-named source COFF! COFF! APPLE!!...
Some of the common misconceptions commonly perceived by the public include it slows your device down, lowers your battery life, can brick your phone, ruins your warranty ( however and be restored with a restore), opens your device to potential security threats, and so on ect....
I mostly hear this from people who have never jailbroken their device and/or have very limited knowledge of such topics, where they have predominantly got their information from the common media. Where the Apple propaganda comes into play.
Hoping for a common perception of jail-breakers to be a liberation community could be a dream but maby one day the dream could come true but probably wont so long as this war of cat and mouse continues with Apple Vs jailbreak developers.
Give me your comments/views of how jailbreaks are viewed.
