In any event, my comment wasn't a defense of Apple or Steve Jobs, because really it's irrelevant whether or not he knew what he was doing was illegal. Although if he didn't, then Apple's in-house lawyers failed at their jobs; saying that Apple's lawyers failed does not mean I"m absolving Steve Jobs of anything.

My apologies, what I was trying to say did not come clear.
The e-mail is obviously written by Steve Jobs, he had a special position in Apple, and what he did does not necessarily demonstrate what is happening with rank and file Apple employees (here, management). For all I know, a majority of Apple employees might be equally scandalized by the content of e-mail. Or not. I can not say.
