They invented iPod, they invented Podcasting. And more to the point there are many other things that they plan for the iPod that you haven't even thought of yet. If you want them to fund a whole load more innovation for the benefit of everyone, they must be allowed to make money from their inventions and stop others from eroding the use of their trademarks. And lastly, this is a crucial time because it is all so new. What happens now will determine things for a long time to come. As a shareholder in Apple I support them in this 100%.

It is about the thought behind it. I see how you can come to the conclusion, but it really is about the idea of the poem, not the comparison to this aera. When somebody says "I have a dream!" it also refers to the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King - but also has the shared idea of a vision for a better future.

I mean, it's a big dumb decision from Apple - but to equate it with the Nazis coming after their political opponents is a bit out of scale. No? Can we get a bit of perspective here?

And what I find most interesting really is that they only seem to go for the small ones. Honi soit qui mal y pense ...
