While it's clear why all of this is out-of-bounds for Logitech; I think that concluding that this support violates a number of laws (for US anyway) is overstepping given that Apple has not challenged it and laws regarding this stuff are very complicated (e.g. DCMA - note that iPhone jailbreaking was explicitly added as an exception. Different than this case, yes, but the point is that the whole legal area is far from clear). Anyway, Logitech obviously licenses Apple stuff legitimately and wouldn't have interest in gray areas. But there's no reason to make legal assumptions on third-party choices that aren't being legally challenged (or to discourage such third-party development based on hypotheticals). -- jdoering ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdoering's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17482 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85059 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
