You do not need to jailbreak to pirate, and most people who pirate don't jailbreak: the way people pirate is they either download applications from China that use enterprise certificates (which Apple vaguely tries to find and stop by revoking the certificate, but doesn't do very well at) or they share developer certificates (you can even pay a tiny subscription fee to get your device added to someone else's account with a download link for a wildcard provisioning profile), and then they can just install whatever they want to their device. Even the US Copyright Office has gone explicitly on the record as stating that they do not feel there is a link between piracy and jailbreaking mobile phones (unlike for other categories of device, such as video game consoles, where they consider that problem to exist and be serious).
