News: Apple Deleted Music Which Users Downloaded From Rivals

[gemz4the1]

It has been made public in a lawsuit that Apple deleted music from users devices if the music was downloaded from a rival.  It is claimed that this occured in 2007 - 2009.

Apple are breaching users rights because recently they downloaded a U2 album to many unsuspecting users and then made it difficult for it to be deleted.

If the music has been purchased from a rival then Apple have no right to delete it. What next - they'll delete apps that are not made by Apple?

MI5 there going for the quick response whilst I was going long term evolution.
You see bob, not many US courts will rule in favour of a Korean accused when bought to court by an American "victim" it just won't happen.
Which is why it's called proxy suing, by going after HTC, Samsung, lg. Apple are avoiding going straight for Google who would pose a more challenging trial.
It's also the reason why apple have been free to steal android features without competition, Samsung etc don't own the patents to the software, Google do. But Apple won't take Google to court for fear of a counter sue by the largest licence holder of android.
