We have decided to remotely disable the default installation of TaiG in China for further investigations on the piracy issue.
The team of hackers made a deal to install TaiG as the default app installer in China, instead of Cydia. As soon as the jailbreak was released users discovered that the store was full of pirated applications.
The evad3rs posted their side of the story recently, explaining that their contract with TaiG "indicates they will not have piracy in their store". Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.
As always, please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

It is not the Evad3rs fault about piracy etc as these guy deserve every penny they receive for all the hard work the voluntary work they put in to these jailbreaks and I love these guys and to be honest I think Apple should employee these guys into the Apple company and make our idevices even more awesome.
