expensive iphone apps

[tim]

good idea.

if you have a friend who's got an iphone as well as you, and they've got a £5 app or whatever, ask them to enter their apple ID in the app store, download the app you want, and it's free.

task is:

app store
scroll to bottom
sign out
make friend sign in
search for app
press "£x" then "buy now"
it'll say "it'll be free, download now?"
yes

Isn't this illegal ?

Could be...

nope... they're legally registered upto 5 iphones with the purchase.

 

[Renniks]

But surely they are only legally allowed on one itunes account (the purchasee's account) which wouldnt be the case on someone elses Iphone ?

*for all intensive purposes: I have no clue on this matter, it just seems a bit odd*

no idea on the exact policy of it but if i had 5 iphones they can be used on all of those, so it makes no different signing in on someone elses iphone and downloadin the app
