Piracy problems plague first iOS 7 jailbreak Dec 23rd 2013, 16:30, by Jared Newman The first jailbreak for iOS 7 has landed, but not without a bit of drama. The "evasi0n" jailbreak for iOS 7 arrived on Sunday, bringing with it the Taig app store for Chinese language users. Unfortunately, as some developers pointed out, Taig is a haven for pirated software, and its inclusion didn't sit well with the jailbreak community. Why include Taig in the first place? The store was reportedly offering big payouts—$150,000 or more, according to developer Will "chronic" Strafach—to hackers who pre-installed the store. In response to the backlash, evad3rs disabled the default installation of Taig in the evasi0n jailbreak pending further investigations. The group claims that it only worked with Taig on the condition that the store didn't include piracy, as evad3rs was hoping to improve the piracy situation in China by pre-loading a piracy-free app store.
