The court is actually saying that going to an Apple store and having RIO, Sony, Creative, etc. representatives walking around the store trying to sell you their products in front of the iPod display is legal, assuming that you invited the representatives to come with you.

No statement on the legality or illegality of Adware or spyware itself was made.

Nothing ever happens in the life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line...
