  Laws exist for everyday people like you and me, not for megacorps like Apple. Laws and regulations are just minor business expenses to them.

    A fine is just an calculable price to do something wrong, business love them, from the classic study:

    rady.ucsd.edu/_files/faculty-research/…/fine.pdf

    Parents used to arrive late to collect their children, forcing a teacher to stay after closing time. We introduced a monetary fine for late-coming parents. As a result, the number of late-coming parents increased significantly.

      Just keep adding zeroes until you get the desired outcome.

        This is the correct answer. If the fine was $1000 for every time you picked your kid up late you can guarantee parents would never arrive late.

    I love this world. Even though I bought it. It’s illegal to tinker with some components. And we’re all OK enough with it.

    I mean how did this get past the “Klaus Schwab is eating your children” crowd meanwhile we can’t legally reverse engineer things we bought

    I don’t think those is DRM, as it digital rights. I think they were using it as a comparison.
