I was protecting my rights and voicing my opinion which is also my right and I'm good at it ;-) ebay has a policy about not allowing pirated software but they do not police it because they are not liable because of the agreement when you sign up. Not being liable does not make one completely innocent in the matter it just keeps them out of civil court. The Phone company analogy doesn't work because they have no control over what you say or do until it is said or done. eBay has complete control over what is posted for sale or auction but they don't care enough to spend the time and money to make sure people are doing the right thing. Until someone complains loud enough and it may make them look bad...... I could honestly care less if Apple does anything to protect their own rights. That's their problem to deal with and they should but they don't want to spend the money on it. MS spends plenty on anti-piracy issues and because of their business practices people have less consideration for MS than Apple. Plus MS has much more licenses than Apple so it costs them a lot more money. And I would never expect anyone but myself to protect my rights, especially not MS, Apple or the US govt.
