So than what gives them the RIGHT to break the law to come work here for practically free? There are reasons we have the laws we have, it is hard enough to support the 50% of legal people in this country which are on some kind of support. Why is it we are required to support all these people who come over illegally and drain more on our services?

Back when this lawsuit started, iTunes most definately worked with nothing that wasn't sold by Apple. They actually sued a company for making a product that faked being an iPod so it would work with iTunes.

Yes, you could always drag the music out of iTunes and into your music player, unfortunately, at this time it didn't do anything for you because they used DRM that no one else could LEGALLY play. We are talking pre 2005 here, not since 2006 as that archive.org article clearly shows (the document was CREATED in 2006, the iPod was already old hat by then). I won a 60GB iPod at the Christmas party in 2005, and remember having these issues with it.

they blocked any non-Apple DRM, just like every other company out there, and Real had to hack it (to get their stuff to work around Apple's DRM).

but in the end, iTunes allowed you to use any hardware you wanted, as long as the maker coded a few of Apple's APIs (eventually Apple decided to play nice and stop suing manufacturers and instead made an API system that allowed other hardware to play nice with iTunes).

No, I won't resist arrest, I will take it up in court later and make a boatload of money from the police/police department that screwed up in the harassing arrest.

Now, that doesn't excuse that in this particular case, the guy WAS breaking the law, and the officers were right in arresting him.

Since you seem to like inflammatory statements so much...

If you want to come into the US and work so badly, do it the legal way. The US allows 2 million people in a year legally. Oh, and the white man didn't sneak in, they were invited to come stay, the Indians were later conquered, get over it, everyone else does (except the Palestinians who were conquerors and were kicked out).

(This lays squarely at the feet of the Republicans. Yes it does. Shut the fuck up you child.)

Of course it has nothing to do with the Democrats, lead by Obama, refusing to negotiate. It couldn't be that our political system is design with negotiation of viewpoints built in could it?
