The article does say that it is mostly to combat people harvesting and selling large number of accounts/passwords which seems reasonable to me. It is scary that they could go after people sharing with a friend with up to a year in jail thou

I have the same feeling which is why I've held out buying any Apple stock. I might change my mind if at MacWorld Steve Jobs introduced a new product and a VP that had almost total control of the design. I want to see that someone else can r
