Apple hit with another lawsuit claiming iTunes music piracy
It's interesting how you have such in depth knowledge around the guilt in a case that was only recently filed and feel so assured that Apple is at fault. The music industry is a spider web of licensing, cross licensing, where rights and frequently sold and acquired, regardless of who originally wrote the music. Sounds like you just don't seem to be a fan of Apple yourself from your tone.tommikele said:
Actually, it’s not the darts approach. It’s called "I own the songs and you are part of a chain of illegal distribution. I want the money." The only question here for Apple is will they be held jointly and or separately libel once the ownership rights are established. The law is hazy on establishing liability in a supply chain like this. Apple may be able to establish they had no reason or evidence to doubt distributors right to sell the music and get out from under. Otherwise it will cost them the profits and the plaintiffs will look for punitive damages. That's the big money if you can get it from a set of deep pockets. Doubtful, but worth a try. This claim will be taken quite seriously by the courts as it should be. It's an intellectual property case. The gentle outrage is amusing since I bet you’ve expressed plenty of it when Apple says someone else is stealing their IP. Did you ever know anyone who made their living as a musician or writer or artist and found their work being sold illegally or pirated? I do. I am married to a pretty successful writer.david | dahoveed said:Is this the darts approach to the law? Keep throwing darts until one of them hits something? If these are taken seriously by the courts, Apple will file to have them combined into one case before one court.

Epic vs Apple suit finally ends, as Supreme Court refuses to hear both appeals
So now Apple can require all developers to give 5% of revenue once they make 1 million outside of IAP just like Epic does?

We demand our Right to Repair, iFixit tells FTC
They demand the right to make their business feasible ... since they just want to sell parts and tools.Shoe horse makers demand less cars!

Controversial Humane Ai Pin is here, costs $700, and requires a subscription
Looks awkward to wear and interact with.Also they need to spend some money on marketing; a stilted demo in an echo filled room with lackluster record and no background music is not a great introduction to a new product.Interesting ideas with the hand projection and interaction but 100% a skip for me.

Apple's record $83.4B Q4 misses Wall Street expectations
With all the uncertainty about the supply chains effects this holidaympantone said:AMZN is a better buying opportunity. It's way off it's 52 week high and it's down 4% in after hours trading. FB is also way off its 52 week high also it is mostly unmoved today in after hours.
AAPL is still very close to its 52 week high. NVDA, NFLX, and TSLA are all trading near their 52 week highs.
Apple is not doing itself any favors by withholding guidance.
Apple gives no guidance ... wall street pushes it down since they don't get easy information to manipulate
Apple gives guidance but is too optimistic and misses ... wall street pushes it down and frames it as a company on the decline
Apple gives guidance beneath what wall street wants to see ... wall streets pushes stock down because a number doesn't match a made up number in their head despite them consistently being wrong on Apple.
I say don't give them anything and concentrate on making great products and getting them to consumers.
