  Allow people to install rejected apps, just make it tiny bit more difficult.
I'd argue they already have. Jailbreaking the iPhone is trivial enough that anyone can do so if they desire rejected or non-AppStore applications.


Didn't Apple argue this was illegal under the DMCA?

I'm not sure breaking the law fits my definition of 'trivial'.


Not exactly, they argued that the arguments the EFF put forth for carving out an exception for jail-breaking did not meet the legal requirements for carving out such an exception.
