Apple is under no obligation to apply version 3. They already have the software they need on the iPhone, and they can just keep using what was covered under version 2 and not bother with any changed that fall under the scope of the license change.
Who cares if they deserve it? Reading these stories is like listening to a three year old whine about not getting candy.
Fortunately for me, I enjoy that sort of thing.

Kinda like it's pointless arguing the moral turpitude involved in depriving copyright holders of their rights when you're talking to a degenerate who believes they're entitled to everything for free?
The market is perfectly free. It's just expensive to provide the service. I personally think the government should take it over. I'd have a never-ending stream of laughs at how badly they would bobble the whole thing.
The last oddity was that a store employee was stationed by the door and was locking and unlocking the door as people would enter and exit. I pointed out to them (on the way out - I'm no fool) that the fire marshal would have a fit if he caught them doing that. Crowd control is understandable, but locking the only means of egress from a retail space when customers are present is a bit of a no-no. "If you're flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit."
Apparently "The People" in your post only refers to people who don't own shares in corporations. Thanks for declaring me (and millions of others) non-entities.
Could I have the layman's explanation of how this is either anti-competition or pro business, please? I have a hard time seeing how this forces people to actually pay the prices.
Since it is just philosophy, discussing it is meaningless and essentially useless. There are (quite obviously) no answers to be found through such an exercise.

Yes! Yes! The best way to ensure that people's rights aren't violated is to take those rights away!
I'll go fast, because you're an arrogant prick

I didn't realize you cared so deeply for Apple and were persecuted so horribly for it. I'll try to be more sensitive in the future.
I would be wary of its results-- there are many people who are "haters" of the Apple products, of the iPhone, etc
Are you seriously trying to shift blame to a vast PC-user conspiracy?
Sure it is. It just doesn't line up with your particular prejudices is all.

I like the insinuation that any who wouldn't want to switch to Apple is irrational. It's not exactly subtle, but Apple bullshit never is.
I don't trust any single person to not be evil. Morality is far too subjective.
They never mentioned that they had no intention of lowering premiums for anyone
Did they ever mention that they did intend to lower their rates? If not, I'm not exactly sure what you don't like about it.

I'm such a huge fan of people who assert, even indirectly as you did, that anyone who doesn't agree with their opinion must be stupid.

Yay hyperbole! It's the most important weapon in the ecoterrorist tool box.
A reading by Stallman himself (followed by a license signing)?
If you could somehow bottle that concept you would cure insomnia the world over.
Actually, I'd call it suicide.
It also does not necessarily mean there is a fire.
I guess it probably makes more sense if you think like a human instead of a computer.
Why not make fun of it? It's ridiculous, and as such it deserves to be ridiculed.
As a matter of full disclosure, I don't think anything is above being made fun of.
Wow, +5 Insightful for a witty-sounding but incorrect sound bite. Go Slashdot.
This is the pro-piracy thread. Don't expect a whole lot of logic or sense in here.

Yummy, unreasonably angry nerdsniping. Let me get my tissues and a handful of Crisco and you prepare another gem.
