Doesn't matter, there are these things called laws, a company can try and sign a contract where they pay you a $1 an hour. Doesn't matter the government says no. Why dont you go back to the 1800's with your ideologies.

So I went ahead and read through the TOS (iOS 8.1, the latest). From it, the only setence that I could find that really talks about jailbreaking or rooting is as follows:
Now, there is a paragraph about reverse engineering and decrypting, as follows:
My understanding is that jailbreaking does none of those things. Further, Apple expressly mentions jailbreaking only in the context that Apple shall not be responsible for anything done to a jailbroken device.

All this guy is bitch about jailbreaking!
Does he not see that no one cares of his so called ethical opinions ?
Your arguments are exactly the ones people on Wall Street use to justify their actions - they didn't break any laws.
There are also things called ethics.
Yes, it is totally legal to sell a poor little old lady your iPhone 3G for $3,242 because she is under the false impression that this what it is worth. Ethical? Nope.
Yes, you can have a TOS when you sell your bike to someone with the stipulation that they can't ride it on Tuesdays. If they do decide to ride their bike on Tuesdays, that act of bike riding did not violate any laws. But it did violate the TOS the person had agreed to.
I get that ethics don't matter to a lot of people. I am just always amused by how people rationalize it away.
----------
So you think that jailbreaking does not modify or create any derivative works of any of the services or capabilities provided by the IOS?
So all the functionality provided by the IOS works exactly the same before and after the jailbreak?
Interesting viewpoint.
If you don't care about my viewpoints, then why do you post rebuttals...twice?
Of course no one can do anything about your unethical behavior.
If you are not a person who doesn't honor a TOS agreement, then I don't really care about your opinions since your actions say who you are.
Lol
Oh no, Im going to cry if you don't agree with my opinions or actions
You really shouldn't.
Although you say no one cares about my opinion, this is now the third time you replied, so you clearly have some issues here.
When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Try a different approach, like being ethical, and these issues will go away. You can be okay. It just takes some effort.
Very impressive trolling effort so far.
Many of us bit and kept responding to you.
For that I applaud you. Well done

People shouldn't argue with Vulcans, it isn't logical. They just make you go where you never gone before. Just let this one go back to his planet.
Perhaps the question of ethics regards to the TOS should be bestowed upon Apple. Much like the example that you provided of selling a bike to someone under the terms that they cannot ride it on Tuesdays, the TOS of Apple is equally ridiculous in the fact that it stipulates ways in which we cannot use a device that we paid for. It is natural that people break this BS TOS because Apple places restrictions that it is in no position to place. Futhermore, jailbreaking has been exempt from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act until 2015 which means that there is no reason for you to bring the issue of legality into this forum at all.
By the way, one of the rules on this forum is no trolling. If you interpret these rules as part of the TOS of MacRumors (which they practically are) you will find that by intentionally inciting anger in this thread, you sir are breaking forum rules and thus the TOS. Do you feel that it is ethical that you are breaking these rules/TOS? Also, what is your view on the ethics of being a hypocrite?
