Is this legal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.6.141.2 (talk)
Do you mean: is installing Cydia legal? Random Wikipedia readers probably aren't the best people to ask; you can decide for yourself by reading some news articles. Dreamyshade (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
It isn't legal (Cydia is legal , but jailbreaking isn't). But nothing will happen to you if you use it so feel free to do so Bang! (talk) 12:45, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

- It's also a question of where you live. DMCA = U.S. only. 154.5.62.248 (talk) 17:22, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
