Disks fail so backup
[The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] And even if as Mac zealots we (unreasonably) decide that Apple makes products that never fail, remember they don't make the hard drives.

"Abuse" might be defined as unreasonably restricting the use of one's work by others. Some might prefer to see courts deciding by precedent what constitutes "unreasonable" rather than having it codified in law. This would alleviate, I think, many of the current difficulties we are having with copyright.

Further protectionism only punishes American consumers and foreign workers for American workers' mistakes.
