Comment Re:Or maybe Apple is complying with the law ? (Score 1) 465

I'll bet Apples entire fortune that if it goes to court, the judge will order Apple to unlock the device.

Are you clinically stupid or does it just take practice?

All Apple has done is ask for a legal proof of ownership. At no point have they said they're not going to hand anything over, all they said is "follow the procedure".

And no, a pretty letter on gold-embossed paper doesn't count as "legal proof" of anything. The legal system would collapse if it did.

If the vendor then chose to deny me access and insist I get a court order, I'd be unhappy, angry and deeply disappointed. And I very certainly would never use that vendor again, and I'd warn everybody I could to stay away from that vendor.

Would you feel "unhappy, angry and deeply disappointed" if Apple handed your account over to the first hacker who sent them a letter on embossed paper?

Apple has a procedure in place for this situation, all you have to do is follow it. You may not like the procedure but it exists for a reason.

Are you stupid or just willfully ignorant? Have you heard about the part about furnishing legal documents to prove they were the rightful heirs

Anybody can send letters on offical-looking paper

(along with a photocopy of photoshopped death certificate if you think it helps).

You think a six-year-old has the same decision making ability as an 20-year-old?

Is it a coincidence that most street gangs indoctrinate new members around the age of 13?

The "age of consent" thing is a bit arbitrary but it doeshave a basis in reality. Young children are far easier to indoctrinate/persuade than adults.
