But the point is that the triggering mechanism is only unknown and hard to trigger to folks outside of Apple.

- Intermernet 14y agoSo useless to everyone else... It's basically an ad-hoc DRM solution that gains no advantage to the end-user, while triggering un-known actions in an otherwise trusted piece of software.
- freehunter 14y agoI'm not sure it was meant to be useful to an end-user. An end-user doesn't care if the computer he's using was stolen, counterfeited, etc. The company making the equipment and software does, and this is useful to them.
- sbuk 14y agoYes, that's why it's clever. The end user isn't aware it is there and it isn't harming them, but it's stopping other companies such as Franklin profiting from directly ripping off your work without your permission.
- katbyte 14y agoIts not DRM. Its a way to prove in a court of law that software was copied. It is more of a digital watermark.
