iOS 8.1.3 Jailbreak Patch Is Nothing Compared To This Current Threat!

Jailbreak iOS 8.1.3 TaiG Patch is Nothing Compared to this New Legal Threat! - With jailbreaking having taken off in the past few months due to an explosion of growth on the development front, which can be entirely attributed to the new TaiG, Pangu and PP Chinese jailbreak teams, the entire process and concept are starting to become things we take for granted. Although iOS 8.1.3 patches the jailbreak for iOS 8.1.2, effectively making it currently impossible to jailbreak on 8.1.3, previously we’d be lucky to receive two new utilities a year - one for each major iOS release. For example, iOS 6 and iOS 7 both were jailbroken by evasi0n from the evad3rs shortly following their release and that was it until Pangu made their grand appearance on the scene with the group’s jailbreak for 7.1.2, followed by their Pangu8 tool to jailbreak 8.1 only months later (during the interim their original 7.1.2 utility was thriving). Since then, TaiG released two jailbreak utilities, one for iOS 8.1.1 and the other is an update to cover iOS 8.1.2, and a team dubbed PP created a utility of the same name to jailbreak the latter of the two aforementioned firmwares on OS X for Mac owners. Now however, before an iOS 8.1.3 jailbreak is even considered, a new threat looms on the horizon for the world of jailbreaking: the law. Currently, jailbreaking is 100 percent legal, and hopefully it will remain that way, but we need your help. To learn how to safeguard the future of jailbreaking post 8.1.3 for iOS 8.2 and beyond, continue reading past the break.


Forget About iOS 8.1.3 - Jailbreaking’s Legality Is In Question

Jailbreak iOS 8.1.3 Legal
As of the writing of this article, the process of jailbreaking is protected under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), as it should be. However, when the portion of the Copyright Act that permits jailbreaking is up for review in 2015, the segment might not be renewed.

In the past, jailbreakers have actually had the power to sway the law and convince those with the authority to, arbitrarily ban, or allow a process as complex and unique as jailbreaking, by showing the Copyright Office and Librarian of Congress that said process is not only sought after by millions but also legal.

iOS 8.2 Jailbreak Post 8.1.3: Keep It Legal!

After all, it’s your device, why shouldn’t you be able to customize it? While meant as a rhetorical question, the answer is simple: you should be able to! However, companies are now making the asinine claim that due to the fact their software (e.g. iOS firmware, be it 8.1.2 or iOS 8.1.3) is copy written, it cannot be modified, i.e. jailbroken while still being legal.

The ridiculous stance of the various companies with intent to thwart jailbreaking could make the point of a new utility to jailbreak iOS 8.1.3 or 8.2 on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models (even the newer iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air 2 devices) entirely moot if we don’t act once again to persevere jailbreaking.

In addition to watching the video that’s embedded above, which explains the debacle in a visual and audible form, follow this link to an EFF petition. From there, digitally sign the petition by filling out your name, email and zip code and you’ll instantly become an important part of the movement to help keep jailbreaking legal; it’s truly that simple!

Note: In order for your contribution to count, you must fill out a proper zip code and your name - anonymous signatures won’t count.

iOS 8.2 And Jailbreak 8.1.3 Summary

For those of you seeking additional information pertaining to both iOS 8.1.3 and iOS 8.2, as well as the current jailbreak status, we recommend watching the above video from iCrackUriDevice to get caught up on the latest updates.

If enough signatures are collected by the time the portion of the DMCA in question is reviewed, jailbreaking will once again receive an exemption and will maintain its legality. Once that happens and we’re in the clear, it’s entirely plausible that an iOS 8.2 jailbreak post 8.1.3 will exist for all devices and the jailbreak community will continue to improve and flourish especially due to   Apple’s forthcoming Apple Watch and yearly iDevice refreshes that continually draw more individuals to the concept of jailbreaking.

Thank you for both helping to protect the future and for reading.
