Last month YouTube beefed up their on demand movie service with over 3,000 new movie rentals, but if you want to watch pay-per-view content on YouTube from your jailbroken Android you’ll be sorely disappointed.  According to Cory Doctorow of The Guardian, “Android users who have jailbroken their phones will be denied access to the new commercial YouTube pay-per-view service.”
