I know a guy that received a contact from a satellite company with the idea of paying them $2500 or get sued.. he went the payoff route.

So, if this website gets on the radar screen of apple attorneys, they will do what they can to get to the customer list (which is easy since a credit card trail is there) and then go after the individual users.

I wished apple would allow the iphone to be open so you don't have things like jailbreaking or unlocking, but that's how they have set things up and they will do what they need to do protect their little monopoly.

using a pre-paid CC won't help you with this service, since a SIM is shipped to a mailing address.. that's where they will follow.

no playa hate here....i know you guys are really trying to provide a useful service, but it flies right smack against their TOS and with that, comes legal retribution.

Fight the jail bait!
Apple actually would not be the one to care. It would be AT&T since they are the ones that signed an exclusive with Apple to provide customers with airtime
