Jailbreaking itself is legal(at least in the US) particularly when it comes to jailbreaking an iPhone in order to use a different carrier(although it can void your apple warranty). The issue comes from the people who have a jailbroken iDevice and then install software/programs specifically to hack/cheat in games like DragonVale. However this is not an issue that effects us directly (unless you are hyper competitive and cared about the gamecenter rankings list), Backflip is somewhat effected because of potential loss of in-app purchases (although people who are going to jailbreak in order to cheat at DragonVale weren't going to be making any IAP's anyway) so they are if anything more concerned about it than we are. The problem is that for companies like backflip fighting cheating is a never ending cycle where they solve one problem only to have the cheaters find something new.
