There are some apps out there that allow us to bypass inapp purchases for games and other apps. However with every update they patch things and enslave us yet again.

I propose we all come together to develop a new bypass in app purchase app.

Heres my idea of what this app should do.
Run the app then select app you want to get free purchases with. Patch the final destination of where the dollars go to.

You still need money however technically its still in your possession but in another account. Its like your sending money to yourself but through the app you wanted free stuff from.

The bypassing inapppurches app will have you select the app you want to patch then you enter your own account details or certain website that will reroute the money back to the user who wants free app goodies.

Lets call this app freedigicont.apk
Whos in?
 
So in effect you are asking for things that normally cost money to get without paying for them? Sounds a little like theft. The fact that developers keep rewriting apps to thwart those apps that bypass the payment process only means they don't like having their pockets picked in the name of "freedom".

I guess you are okay with creating poverty and killing people.

No, but that has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Developers create code and content and then decide how it gets distributed. If you don't like the payment model, then don't use it, but don't assume that the people who work hard developing these apps shouldn't be compensated.

Expecting that all software features should be free and equating having to pay developers for their time and effort to enslavement is both the definition of entitlement and insulting to those who are genuinely oppressed.

If someone chooses to distribute their work for free then great, but you have no right to their work if they do not. What you are demanding is that others work to give you stuff for free, which if you think about it is more analogous to your enslaving them than their offering you a service in exchange for a payment is to them enslaving you.

The leap from "I want extra app features for free" to "not giving me this impoverishes and kills people" is however simply absurd, and makes it hard to take you seriously.

Do you have a job, @suad176? Assume you put in a 40-hour week, laboring under the impression that you'll be compensated for your efforts, since you've chosen to work for pay, not volunteer your time. Now your employer decides not to issue your paycheck. Are you good with not getting paid for your work?
