iTunes Gift Card Key System Cracked, Exploited
moonbender writes "Fake but working iTunes gift cards are being sold on Chinese auction sites for a fraction of their value: 'The owner of the Taobao shop told us frankly that the gift card codes are created using key-generators. He also said that he paid money to use the hackers' service. Half a year ago, when they started the business, the price was around 320 RMB [about $47] for [a] $200 card, then more people went into this business and the price went all the way down to 18 RMB [about $2.60] per card, "but we make more money as the amount of customers is growing rapidly."' The people at Chinese market researcher Outdustry have apparently confirmed this by buying a coupon and transferring it into an iTunes account. Oops."
Americans and Europeans contribute to the economic downfall of Western Civilization every time they purchase a product made in the third world.
Honestly though, what other choice do you have in most situations? Even many of the high end products now are made in third world countries. Many parts for American cars are built in other countries, even many of the cars are assembled in Mexico now. Japanese cars are often made here, but are assembled using parts made in a foreign country. It's the same situation for almost all electronics.
In a lot of cases, with research, you can actually choose where your goods are made. Sometimes it means they're of much higher quality, too. Other times (LCD televisions, for example) it means you get a mid-range product instead of the more fully featured version made in Korea.
