<blockquote>
	<p>
		Jailbreaking is akin to software piracy. It maintains the status quo instead of giving free and open
		alternatives a fair go.
	</p>
	<cite>Kroc Camen</cite>
</blockquote>
<p>
	In response to <a href="http://www.osnews.com/thread?407309" rel="external">this comment on osnews</a>. Note that
	I am not saying that jail breaking <em>is</em> piracy, certainly not, but that it creates the same result. Piracy is
	why Photoshop has no competition. Piracy is why Korea and China have 99% IE usage. Jail-breaking will be why Apple
	will never change their App Store policies.
</p><p>
	Hacking the iPad will not create an open, viable alternative hardware and software platform.
