I'm hoping that both Apple lawsuits end up with the plaintiffs winning.<br>The first one because (while I don't  know any details of this case) I can accept them (this includes any service company like Steam etc. as well) blocking your access to connecting or contacting other players (in the cases people are terminated or the like for being shitheads, cheating or being nuisances towards other people - Yes even Multiplayer games) or even from buying new games. But to sever their connection to stuff they've actually bought (in a moral sense here; because, yes I know, we don't own anything. We've just paid for the license to use it, till they consider us no longer worthy of their services) would in any other circumstances be consider theft as far as I know (there are probably a few exemptions).<br>- I'm guessing the 24k is everything from music, to films, series, apps (do Mac programs counts as apps or are connected in this way, because if he's somewhat of a professional I can see a lot of money being spent on professional applications/programs), games(?) etc. <br><br>I know a little more about the other Apple case (plug for <b>Uncivil law*, look him up) and I think my opinions from the first case is general enough to speak for this one as well. If they can, at any moment, for any reason (whether their left ball's a bit itchy or if the bots are acting up or if you have the same hairdo that their bully had or if they're going broke or their latest update of iTunes no longer support that file) kick you out, ban you, sever your access to things you *bought</b> (nice buy-button there, isn't almost looks like you bought something and thus own it) or just drop support/access to it (or let's say they bought the rights to "sell it" for a few years and then removes it from your <b>owned</b> library). Maybe they shouldn't use words that makes it sound like you've bought the item and now own it - and then use the everyone-knows-what-it-really-means defence. <br>Probably a bit rambling but eh, it's after midnight, I hope you got the gist of what I've tried to say.<br>If I remember it correctly, the reason why Apple didn't succeed in getting it kicked out was because he's considered to be (perpetually?) (monetarily) injured from the moment he <b>bought</b> them as he argued that he either wouldn't have bought them; either at all or for that amount of money (in the very least) had he known ... well, the reasons he sued.<br><br>Hell these two are connected to why I waited so long to get Steam and even longer to actually spend money there.
