Opening up the system wasn't to pirate anything, it was because opening up the system allows for many things to be done, one of them is piracy, yes. The moment I got my android phone I rooted it, why? Because I like to do things to my hardware and I don't like to be impeded by bullshit. I am not doing anything illegal on it, though tethering is skirting the ToS a bit, and nor do I plan to, but I like to do things with my hardware.

You are also implying that piracy is theft, which it isn't. There's a very clear cut definition it falls under in some countries, copyright infringement, and not teft. Also, Netherlands actually did a study showing that piracy doesn't have any negative effects on an industry, might be beneficial to the overall economy even.

I also couldn't help but laugh aloud at the absolutely abysmal analogy I bolded for you. Yoour definitions of teft seem to be extremely warped and you seem to be very close minded about these issues.

but it indeed would lead to Piracy, Even Geohot admitted it. so how is it not leading to piracy?

Piracy is theft pure an simple!

that's why boats are being stolen and their cargo is being taken:

that is theft!

no matter how you want to sugar coat it 

is theft!

Next time a link will suffice. I'm tired of your pointless walls of text.

And I can't believe how thick you are. Yes it allows piracy. Your door also allows home invasion, and your windows allow burglary, and your SSN allows ID theft. Do you have doors and windows in your house? Because then you are doing something wrong. It leads to so much more to piracy, but I guess you wouldn't understand, seeing how you think piracy is theft, which by the way is not mentioned at all in the article you found. Microsoft was sued for copyright infringement, not theft. I'm done with people like you who think they know how things work, when in fact they know as much as the rock in my garden.

no it's people like you who praise people who violate the law, than when someone or some corperation try's to protect themselves you blame the corperation?
