Sad new for many and good news for some – Install0us is closing permanently. Basically Install0us provides cracked iPhone apps for free. It used to be a cakewalk to download and install paid iPhone apps for free with Install0us app which was available via Cydia. iPhonedownloadblog shared this breaking news sometime back. Here is what puy0, the creator of Installous wrote on his blog about the reasons why he is giving up. Basically he says that he didn’t know what he was doing was illegal.
During all this time I have been actively searching for a lawyer to know how legal we were. Not the lawyer you can find just anywhere, but one that understands Internet legislations and specializes in copyright laws. Trust me, these people are rare, very in demand, and very expensive.
As such I have been looking for three months, and I finally found one recently. Unfortunately our discussion left me sad and even feeling stupid to have invested so much effort into this, and involved people with me… You see, after talking for more than an hour with him, I’m sorry but the conclusion is that what we do would be very hard to defend against in court.
I am at the moment already at risk, and would risk even more with the exposure that an Install0us v3 release will definitely bring me. Call me a coward, but as I said, hiding under covers is not a life for me. Moreover, these days in my country piracy is a hot subject among politicians… I do not want to be flamed in a trial for something that I do as a hobby, and I do not want to involve any people with me in this. I am sincerely sorry to the people who followed me thinking we were legit, my honest mistake.
