What is the ruling on jailbreaking the iPhone and iPad, and what is the ruling on using cracks to download applications and programs?

Firstly: Jailbreaking is a modification to a device's operating system to remove restrictions and allow the download of unauthorized software. It is not considered a legal offense, and there is no religious impediment to it, as it serves to develop the device and modify its programming.

Secondly: Cracking is the bypassing of protection for non-free software to obtain it for free. This is considered a legal crime and is religiously forbidden, as it involves consuming people's wealth unjustly and infringing upon copyrights and intellectual property, unless the owner of the software is a warring disbeliever.
