The music industry had poor results going after illegal file sharers with a big stick, threatening big civil penalties for those downloading music without paying royalties. As Apple wrestles with the growing popularity of unauthorized iPhone applications, the company has fewer options for going after scofflaws since the civil penalty for the process known as "jailbreaking" may only be $2,500. But John Mockler, an intellectual property attorney at Munck Carter, says iPhone owners may be less likely to risk downloading unauthorized software of dubious origin that could damage their phones. "People may be less willing to take a chance with their iPhones, especially if downloading software someone literally made in their garage."
