Are We On The Cusp Of A Jailbroken App Revolution?

The DMCA ruling won't change things for the average iPhone user -- the main difference being that jailbreakers now can't be sued by Apple successfully under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Apple will continue their attempts to block the jailbroken phones with every iOS update and jailbreakers will keep getting more and more savvy, like a vicious cycle of digital cat and mouse. Jay Freeman, who runs Cydia , what many in the industry refer to as the "Jailbroken App Store," posits that what today's ruling did change was awareness; " More people will jailbreak their phones. Now that they think it's legal. " [Emphasis mine]. When asked whether the ruling had increased traffic to his site, Freeman bemoaned that today's stats were unfortunately not available.
