Talking April Fools:Apple threatens to close down all iPod hacking related sites

Goodbye iPodWizard.net, iPodHacking.com, AppleHackz.com, iHacks.us and ModMyPod.net?
That's what it seems as Apple is threatening to close down all iPod hacking related websites:

Steve Jobbs, CEO of Apple, has made the following statement about iPod hacking websites:

Quote:
"Hacking iPods has been going on for many years now, with people hacking iPods to do as they please, for examle hacking the iPod games to run on iPods for free, or breaking iTunes DRM and/or authorising more than the five allowed computers. Apple is losing money by this happening. We have received over fifty thousand complaints about people's iPods not working after they have hacked their iPod following instructions on iPod hacking websites. We cannot help these people so we are going to do something to stop it. We are going to legally close down EVERY iPod hacking related site. Each site will be given a one week warning by their host, and will then be shut down. If websites still continue to be made which are related to iPod hacking, then they will be warned and possibly sued.
We will also be adding an update into iTunes that will force a new firmware to be written onto iPhones and iPod Touches to remove the "Jail-Broken" firmware."

they should just take a no tolerance pollocy, "if you hack your ipod and it breaks we wont help you, or even talk to you" and i see the problem with the games, but i can live without cracked games

can you give me the exact link? lets send this out to blogs or something. maybe start a patition? idk but the thing where they're gonna force firmwares is such crap. screw apple

the games is just an ecxuse but ok-you guys should take out the hacking games and the unlocking iphones and itouches. but keep the jailbreaking and the ipod hacking. then they will have no financial reason to shut you down.

if you take down games and firmwares (which there arent on the site anyway) then they have no way to shut us down as the only thing they own the rights to are the firmwares and the games
