The same reason I'm not allowed to smash your car window, even if your car bears an unauthorized copy of my company's logo: it's vandalism, basically. > If I sent a shipload of fake Gucci bags to California the local port > authorities would just grab them and burn them. If you want to argue that Customs has the right to take a shipment of the fake devices and brick them en masse, I think you'll get a lot less argument. A better analogy to the case at hand would be, if you sold a fake Gucci bag retail and Gucci thought they had the right to take it from the buyer and burn it. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
