The amazing thing is that people are somehow surprised that a firm that invests billions in its hardware and software designs and protects them with patents and copyrights - might actually act against a couple of punks from Miami and defend their property rights.

It’s like the reaction seen in the smattering of cases in the foreclosure process when a servicer or a lender is (at least momentarily) unable to produce the original note and the foreclosure suit is (at least temporarily) dismissed. You see all sorts of people tee off on that like free money had just been invented.

The gullibility and naiveté of people never ceases to amaze.

You should explain to people that a consistent and rigorous defense of copyrights, trademarks, and patents is part of the test in future court cases involving companies with intellectual property.

If you don’t defend it, eventually someone will come along and take it away, and the courts will let them.

Punks? Guess you don’t recall Jobs first product was to steal phone service.

The company in Miami was able to get Mac OS to run on a clone. They legally bought the copies of Mac OS that are for sale. Good for them. I guess you people never really dealt with Apple. The company is loaded with libs.
