To crack an application what do you have to do first? Buy it. Most people dont have a clue on how to get cracked apps for the iPhone or even on computer. The Music Industry has blamed piracy on the lack of CD sales, but they fail to see that no one buys CDs and we getting closer to an age where more things are going to be free. Bands have released albums on torrent trackers and have been hugely successful gaining more money then those who put their music on iTunes.Apple could care less if their apps get pirated, they know the numbers are so small it wont affect them, people still have to buy the actually app to crack it. Plus Apple does not care about jailbreaking their only concern is unlocking.

Therefore, it is not Apple's fault they have lost so much money to piracy, but rather developers. But as for Apple, they need to figure out how to block out jail-breaking which will help further prevent the use of pirated and third-party Apps.
