  Geez. It's pretty tasteless to compare a political freedom movement to opposing some restrictive terms of service. It's like putting a picture of Thích Quảng Đức on your blog about why DRM is bad.

    Apple has a bigger impact on the economy than most nations. It’s not a frivolous comparison.

    Or doing an ad where you are a self insert into 1984 and your competitor is big brother?

      Are you talking about Apple or Epic here?

      I think that comparison is somewhat flawed. 1984 is a fictional novel, not a real political movement or historical event. No real people were harmed by the events in 1984.

    The Arab spring started because police confiscated the produce of a street vendor operating without a permit. Granted, there aren't many people that would self-immolate over Apple's terms of service, but the point is that economic freedom is still an important political freedom that people are willing to die over.

    I'm sorry if you find this tasteless and I'll expand a bit more in case there is misunderstanding. My point is that too much power in the hands of anyone is a bad idea that should be opposed. Doesn't matter if it's a country, a political party, a company the size of a country or simply a person with huge funds. Not opposing such behavior amounts to supporting them. I don't like the way Epic does it... but I respect that they do it somehow against their best interest.
