@Rontanamo_Bay anyone who thinks a jailbreak is designed for and/or only a piracy tool only wants to use it for piracy and thus are pieces of poopy. A jailbreak's intended use is not to pirate games. In the end, even if it was to strictly to pirate games can you do it? Do you know how to reverse engineer the code and modify it to run homebrew? Even with a decent guide would you be able to do it? Doubtful. Anyone who thinks they should benefit from someone elses work without paying is... how did you say? "A fool".
@SakuraHaruka all of that is fine and dandy. I was not arguing the legitimacy or morality of jailbreaking a console. I was arguing everyone's argument about a jailbreak having anti piracy counter measueres in place as piracy is not the intended use of a jailbreak. Every jailbreak I habe ever used typically states not to use the software for piracy.
@tudsworth Just like with Homebrew on playstation/xbox/etc the intended purpose for homebrew is not piracy. Even with emulators they tell you straight up not to pirate games but to only use roms for games you actually own(ds/other cart systems) and/or to use the iso from the disc you own. The purpose behind jailbreaking anything is not to pirate but is an unfortunate and unavoidable side effect. The purpose behind jailbreaking the system is to bypass developer restrictions. On an Iphone its for things like not being able to use any 3rd party software or being able to add music/ringtones/media to your phone without itunes etc. For consoles it was widely to remove region restrictions, to enable backwards compatitability(ps3 at least) and to run emulators. Nothing jailbreaks do usually endorse piracy so yeah I would charge for my work. Unless these guys are specifically advertising their homebrew for piracy then I do not see any irony here.

Re: Switch Piracy Tool Could Brick Your System Because It Contains (Wait For It) A Piracy Countermeasure
