Karsten, there's a bit of difference between mass-consumed media and devices
that do interactive communication and computing (mobile or otherwise).

[0]Hugh Pickens writes "Adam Mills writes in the Examiner that Apple has
been [1]cutting off access to the iTunes App Store for iPhone hackers and
jailbreakers. Sherif Hashim, the iPhone developer who successfully hacked
the iPhone OS 3.1.3 and unlocked the 05.12.01 baseband for iPhone 3GS and
3G devices, discovered he'd been cut off and twittered: '"Your Apple ID
was banned for security reasons," that's what i get when i try to go to
the app store, they must be really angry.' Another hacker, iH8Sn0w, who
is behind the Sn0wbreeze tool, [2]confirms that his account has also been
deactivated even though iH8sn0w's exploit had only been revealed to
[3]Dev Team, the group responsible for the PwnageTool. 'It is kind of
surprising that two people associated with jailbreaking have had this
happen to them so soon after one another, but it's too early to say if
this is a campaign that Apple is starting up,' writes Mills."

Oh no, this evil scheme already exists! It's called "cable company"
or "satellite company", you have to pay 50 bucks ransom every month,
and they dictate which TV channels you can watch! The outrage! And
then there are these "newspaper companies" that dictate which news you
get, and these "radio companies" which tell you what you should hear,
and these "book companies" tell you what you should read!
Clearly, the evil Apple empire must be behind these awful schemes for
world domination, but you are the light of truth shining on these evil-
doers! Fabrizio, please check if there are any black helicopters
outside your flat - surely, the Apple Death Squad must be after you!
