> Thanks for passing this on. I agree wholeheartedly with Stallman on this one, it's a horror story that we have all watched the beginning of. As an author of several iOS apps that I know have been pirated (as is just about all paid content), I see both sides - but no amount of profit is worth losing control over my own hardware. I hope Apple never goes there. I can totally see debuggers becoming illegal - experimentation is discouraged because of fear all the time - chemistry sets now exist that don't include chemicals.
