Obviously that was a rotten thing to do, and it hurt their relationship in a major way.
However, that incident was an exception, not the rule. You literally can't become fabulously wealthy and keep it long-term by cheating people. (Bernie Madoff is penniless, and in jail.)
For evidence, I submit the wider context. Without Jobs, Woz would now be a retired HP engineer. No Apple, no IPO, no hundreds of millions. (And of course the reverse is true: no Woz, no Apple.) None of those original Apple IPO millionaires, nor any of the people that made it big the second time around, are complaining of "exploitation."

- scarmig 14y agoThere was a bit more cheating going on in the financial crisis than Bernie. Where are they? I agree with the spirit of your comment, but it's certainly possible to become fabulously wealthy, cheat people, and keep it.
- ZeroGravitas 14y agoI wasn't talking about exploitation. I was talking about respect for intellectual property, a topic you brought up.
