"like stealing it and then selling it back to me for money"

As is universally pointed out in any discussion about media piracy, you can't steal bits.

That BSD code that just got sucked into a closed commercial product is still right where it was before that, it didn't magically disappear.

"No. However, Apple fans everywhere forget that Apple was happy to have their DRM on iTunes, and in fact defaulted to ripping your own CDs to DRMed aac,"

Huh? iTunes never imposed DRM on anything ripped from CD. And by the way, AAC is not Apple Audio Codec nor is it proprietary to Apple.

During the time iTMS did have DRM on all files you could use mp3 encoded music just fine on iTunes and the iPod.

And they say Jobs had a RDF.

Rented on Amazon, not purchased from iTunes.

But but that's a choice with consequences! It's not a choice if there are consequences! If there are consequences you're not free man!

I don't get it either. If someone actually used (and not just whined about) Other OS *and* it was important to them, why did they update?

The closest mall (real enclosed mall not a strip mall) to me has been a tax write off for a couple of decades and they've damned sure the property loses money. The closest real functioning malls are an hour (one way) away.

Two day shipping beats two hours of driving most times. Next day takes care of just about every other case.

If there were local malls to shop at I'd be shopping there, but there aren't any that aren't there to lose money for their owners.
