> Are you able to build your own programs on the dishwasher? On the vacuum cleaner? Is your car's ECU readily programmable? I sure hope so. You should be able to do whatever you want with your own property. > It's because of it, that sw piracy is rampant on Android I don't see how Android app piracy is bad for consumers.

Just goes to show that walled gardens are not necessarily an effective strategy for stopping malware.
