It is insane because you are willfully accepting an environment where a company forbids competition against itself using its market position in a different mark

It is insane because you are willfully accepting an environment where a company forbids competition against itself using its market position in a different market (hardware).
It’s great that they provide this service to you. But if they had competition it would be way cheaper and better
- brookst 3y agoSure, but by that logic we should do away with patents and copyrights. As a consumer, once someone has invested the energy and money to produce something, it’s better for me if someone else can clone it and sell it cheaper. But that’s not good long term. If there’s no reward for success, there’s no incentive to risk failure.
- jncfhnb 3y agoThis statement is stupidly unqualified. Yes, we should reward investments and inventions. No, that broad sentiment does not suffice to support Apple getting to tax all software at 30% by virtues of their hardware market control And forbidding competition against themselves.
