No foo. Not to bite the fucking hand that feeds you.

Windows became the most popular software ever, because it was also the most pirated software ever.

Now that you can't steal it, nobody buys their software anymore.

Seems counter-intuitive, but there you have it; that's the reality.

Seems like they might be learning.

Mortal Combat 9 was the most pirated game ever, because they tried to stop piracy.

The lesson: Don't be greedy. Some will steal; consider it promo.

Or (if you prefer): If it's worth stealing, it's worth buying.

Maybe they can group it in with grilling Apple over watching everyone's every fucking move.
Sorry to keep dragging this up...

My understanding is that Apple is NOT watching your every move, Apple products are.

If I own and possess said product, the only person that has access to those recordings is me.

Is that accurate?

Apple products are watching you = Apple is watching you

This.

They've pretty much said that anything Apple still belongs to Apple even if you bought it.

No thanks.

I would like to see one of the Apple haters post some type of link though.

Ummm, no... Apple lost and was humiliated by the judge when he delivered his verdict. Jailbreaking is perfect legal. You need to read up on what actually happened.

Aside from software, which is of course protected by piracy laws.
