    copyright infringement isnt a criminal act, unless it involves reselling. It is a civil tort, and apple is free to sue.

      That depends on the jurisdiction. On most countries copying software without paying the owner is a criminal offense. How much the local authorities bother following up with this kind of crime is another matter.

      > copyright infringement isnt a criminal act, unless it involves reselling Wrong in the USA, criminal copyright infringement requires only that the purpose be commercial advantage or private financial gain; [17 USC § 506(a)] selling is obviously an example of this, but isn't the only possibility.
