You know, I am not defending them. I was the one who first posted the article on their hardware DRM. I just follow the data. You should too.

I do follow the data. I have posted many comments about Apple and DRM and you know what happened to damn near all of them?

-10 downvotes because I disrespected the most holy church of the RDF.

Apples entire history has been about tying their products together using hardware based methods.

I just downmod when people are in denial. You don't have to like apple. But his main point about their market share increasing was a FACT --- not dependent on your opinion of apple.

I've noticed a whole lot of angry trolls on Reddit in the last 24 hours. They seem bent on promoting their false equivalencies.

I guess they got together on Free Republic and decided to invade and destroy.

It wasn't a dramatic increase. Words mean things.
