O_o Just opened this page accidentally (don't own an iPhone), and was very sad about that its author writes about '''protecting DRM''' and, probably, doesn't think that soft must be free and that copyright is bad and DRM of course is bad too. Apple fans such Apple fans. But the page is of some interest, yeah. --[[User:VitaliyFilippov|VitaliyFilippov]] 21:58, 7 April 2011 (UTC) |

Excellent job, I think this is an important topic that can be well addressed on this wiki. Copy protection contains controversial subject matter; the way I see it, as long as the information here remains academic, this is very much in the spirit of theiphonewiki. --geohot 03:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
