The only truly reasonable thing to do is abolish copyrights and patents. It's not creating new law, it's eliminating old abusive law. The sig completes this post.
Why should I need to upgrade if the previous version suits my needs? Updates could be made by third parties. Copyright is a privilege. Refusal to sell is an abuse of that privilege. It creates a false scarcity. Of course that is the very basis of capitalism, so I don't expect any relief for the foreseeable future.

A car is a physical thing. If somebody takes it, I'm out a car. Copyright/patent is a privilege that should come with limits. If I refuse to license or sell them, I should lose all privileges over them so that somebody else can.
The REAL issue is that there is NO LEGAL MANDATE for Apple to do so.
Actually we don't know that. Secret laws and all. There could be a gag order to keep them from mentioning it, like a national security letter. With all this secrecy, we don't have a clue of who knows what, leaving us to assume the worse, which is the recommended way of dealing with any of this.
False! I bet you that more than 5,000 people died in the time it took you to write that post. The good news is that as a result of people committing 'obscenities', around 7,000 more were born.
I'd like to think that law enforcement is above attempting such tricks, but unfortunately that might just be naive these days.
Might be?? I would say extremely so.. An indication the writer has no knowledge of history... Or maybe just something he has to say to avoid legal issues, or worse..

I wouldn't know
Do not connect these things to the internet, please.
All that stuff is imaginary bullshit, a diversion. It only matters to the currency speculators. Pay no attention to it.
It's like looking at Google maps through a kaleidoscope.
Without those, there is no reason to create and innovate.
Yeah, we would still be in the stone age.
You're right, there is no longer any point in 'discussing' this, especially when all I'm going to hear is debunked old bullshit.. You win...
No, a cracker is a thin, crisp wafer often eaten with cheese or other savory toppings.
I'm pretty sure 8% growth in GDP benefits everyone.
To vastly different degrees, yes. And the people who got fucked simply don't exist.

What next? Jumbo shrimp?
This time it is Obama's fault!
Everything since 2009...
Yes, theory and practice are vastly different things, and due to its inevitable abuse, abolishment is by far the best way to handle the issue.
Hmm, I can think of a politician or two...

Yep.. why not? Why is Ubuntu in there? Isn't it already freely available?
It's only logical that they lose all property 'rights' to it.

There, no one died.

The issue is that Apple won't open a giant backdoors and look the other way...
Why not? I mean, aside from the possibility of getting caught...
Higher level drug runners have nothing to worry about, until they outlive their usefulness. They are well protected government employees.
That too might be disinformacija.(sic)
