Then they started to remove songs you own, and songs from your hard drive that iTunes had nothing to do with it... Fucking apple cultists. You really never see any fault in your chosen god?
I think they're talking about the OG one not whatever they're doing since then and they're 100% correct. Every track on the Ipod nano I had was pirated. Idk what apple has done since then because that was the only apple device I ever used at all and I ended up replacing it with PSP but they did originally benefit from piracy because I wouldn't have bought it if I wasn't able to add my own music like that.
What? I’ve been using iPhones with pirated songs for 10+ years and never had this happen.
Genuinely curious, I know Apple does shit like that sometimes so I wouldn’t put it past them, but I’ve never seen happen or heard about this.
So apple does something crappy… And you’re upset with the people that enjoy their services?
Is that a rhetorical question? I've had a few Apple products mostly in the past or issued to me from when, but I prefer android even when it can be disappointing to me sometimes. Was launching into nandroid via Haret when Windows Mobile devices were a thing too. I don't prefer Apple stuff but whether it be sincere or perhaps theatrics, it seems like you've got an unnecessary and over aggressive revulsion towards them.
How is your comment at all relevant to the idea of Apple benefiting from piracy?
