iPhone Hacks reports that the results of a new study by Pinch Media indicate that thirty-eight per cent of jail broken iPhones have pirated (or “cracked”) iPhone apps on them.
According to their study of over 4 million jailbroken iPhones, close to 38% of the devices tracked had a pirated app installed. A lot of this piracy happens internationally. China, Russia, Brazil and Mexico are among countries where the app piracy is at its peak. From the perspective of a country’s economy, piracy is higher in those countries with lower GDP per capita. “
Shame.
Jail breaking is one thing. Stealing apps is quite another. Are we really that cheap that we won’t stump up a euro or two for an app that we really want to have?
