Apple Pretty Upset About iPhone Jailbreaking : Wants To Make It Illegal

Posted: 13 Feb 2009 11:30 PM PST

Apple seems to be gearing up against the iPhone jailbreaking community and wants to make it illegal.

Jailbreaking an iPhone constitutes copyright infringement and a DMCA violation, says Apple in comments filed with the Copyright Office as part of the 2009 DMCA triennial rulemaking. This marks the first formal public statement by Apple about its legal stance on iPhone jailbreaking.

Yeah right apple after you were not able to provide simple functionalities like video recording, bluetooth data sharing etc which were/are being made possible by developers from around the world and distributed free of any cost, now you also want to shut them down.

Although Electronic Frontier Foundation(EFF) is putting forwarding great counter statements against Apple’s petition, you can read some part of EFF comments below:

Apple’s copyright infringement claim starts with the observation that jailbroken iPhones depend on modified versions of Apple’s bootloader and operating system software. True enough — we said as much in our technical white paper describing the jailbreak process. But the courts have long recognized that copying software while reverse engineering is a fair use when done for purposes of fostering interoperability with independently created software, a body of law that Apple conveniently fails to mention.

Well we are with EFF and support the jailbreaking community . We will update you as soon as more news comes out on this fiasco.

Large File Sharing Comes To MobileME

Posted: 13 Feb 2009 09:28 PM PST

iPhone owners who are using the Mobile Me services, now will be able to share their data/files using MobileMe iDisk.

From Apple:

We’re pleased to announce that you can now use your MobileMe iDisk to share files with others simply and easily. Instead of attaching a large document to an email and hoping it’s not too big to be received, you can place the file in your iDisk and use the new Share File command in the iDisk web app. It lets you send your friends, family, or colleagues a link they can click to download the file directly. You can password protect the link if you choose to and even set how long it will be available.
