Naturally, these unauthorized releases require you to jailbreak your iPhone, which Apple deems to be illegal. Freeman has been on the lookout for emails from Apple and he's not taking chances. He's already got a lawyer just in case Apple decides to slap him with a lawsuit. "The overworking goal is to provide choice," he says. "It's
understandable that [Apple] wants to control things, but it has been
very limiting for developers and users."As far as legality is concerned though, Aaron Perzanowski, a professor specializing in digital copyright law at the University of California Berkeley School of Law, believes developers have "a pretty good" defense under the DMCA, just in case Apple decides to purge them, although he didn't go on the specifics. Be that as it may, this isn't exactly clear-cut legal either.
With that said, a small company plans to open Rock Your Phone, which aims to provide jailbreaking and modification services, which will be useful for users who haven't tweaked their iPhones yet. Another start-up is planning to put up an online store that'll sell adult games for the iPhone, to help get you iRoused anytime, anywhere.
