You have a good point, KJK. You know that using Apple's products comes with a number of restrictions and prefer to live with them rather than without the iProducts. Fine with me. However, it must be publicized as widely as possible that Apple does stand for control, not for freedom.

The danger is not that people like you continue to happily buy Apple products, what is happening is that other companies (like Microsoft) are adopting this pro-censorship stance and in the end there will be no real choices left.
