Sure Apple can do whatever they legally can to maximize their profit, but society could decide that sometimes what is legal needs to change, or the loopholes need to be fixed. So we can complain when we disagree with such behavior we consider is very bad and ask for legal changes? I think Apple does has enough money to hire lawyers and PR people to defend itself from some complaints and can also lobby against better laws - so they don't need fans to spend effort trying to shift the topic into what is legal or not from what should be legal and fair.

Go and fix the loopholes! Get Congress to act. I wish they would. But in the meantime, respect existing laws and rights in contracts.

  > But in the meantime, respect existing laws and rights in contracts. A great way of changing laws is to purposefully break them and undermine them, actually. If people really do not like a law, then we can encourage others to break them, and make these bad laws difficult to enforce. If a bad law can't be enforced, then it may as well not exist.

  Society can change such laws only when there is an open discussion that is exactly doing that, not-respecting the laws and rights in contracts.

  Contracts can be found to be unlawful. But until then we should publish and share this kind of articles, if many people know the shit Apple.,Google,Amazon and others do then this kind of laws will be proposed. so let's share this not because it is illegal now but to debate if it should be illegal to prevent recycling and repairing.
