Piracy is a phenomenon encountered in almost all areas related to the digital space, starting from movies, music, games and extending to almost any kind of software that can be used on a computer/mobile phone. Hacking apps for iPhone / iPod Touch it is not new, starting a few months after the opening the AppStore from the summer of 2008 until now, hundreds of thousands of applications have been hacked and spread by crackers through the world wide web. They say that this year and a half though Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), grossed over $2 billion from AppStore, lost almost half a billion dollars due to piracy. At the same time, the statistics show that for each application sold in AppStore 3 others are hacked and spread on the internet. You know too well that the biggest site for crack-watched applications for iPhone / iPod Touch it's appulo.us, what you probably don't know is that their database contains several tens of thousands of cracked applications and daily more than 3 million people come to download them. There are some impressive and extremely worrying numbers for Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and the developers who invest more than they earn in these applications.
Much of the blame for hacking went to the jailbreakers because without this process hacking would not be possible, but having a device as well sold as it is iPhone, it was only a matter of time until someone was found to "crack" it and others to crack the applications intended for it.
Until how Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), made feeble attempts to stop jailbreaking, the most recent being the introduction of a new bootrom in terminals iPhone 3GS si iPod Touch 3G something that did not solve the jailbreaking problem to any extent. The biggest problem would be if the developers would ask Apple to take the initiative of those from Microsoft who banished the possessors of Xbox 360 from certain countries (owners of pirated games or not) from the online community Xbox Live, thus preventing them from playing any kind of pirated or purchased game on the Internet.
I personally do not see those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), doing too much because they have the most to gain from it. He will win or not Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), the war with the jailbreakers, what do you think?
