As of July 26, 2010, the U.S. Copyright Office has approved exemptions to the DMCA that permits any users of Apple devices (i.e. iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, etc.) to Jailbreak their devices legally.
Although Apple does not want you doing it and has made cases against it, jailbreaking an iPod Touch is legal. It does not violate copyright laws defined by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
However, if you get Installous, which is a program only available for download after jailbreaking that allows you to download all applications for free, it is illegal.
So, the jailbreaking in itself is legal, but using Installous after you jailbreak it to download all apps for free is illegal.
However, is it 100% safe to do so? No. Many people have reported issues once jailbreaking their device, which include very slow internet service, uncooperative programs, and more.
