But besides, the Internet isn't a competitor to Apple, if people want to purchase specific goods, they will find a way and make it happen and given that Samsung possibly won't compete in the US market at least after this, what has Apple got to lose?. They have a right to protect their business, Samsung infringed a law, but more than that, they crushed any respect their was between the two companies. I also find it amusing that even though some of Apple's overseas factories have some of the harshest work conditions in the industry, you're only just now deciding to boycott their products? lol. But, then again, why would you need to own 2 iPods?

You wouldn't say that if you knew what a "monopoly" means. Nobody should be allowed to run a monopoly in any large-scale industry. You'l see the same products costing twice as much suddenly.

Why would anyone "need" to own even 1 I-Pod???

I happened to get my first I-Pod something like 7 years ago I think. Since then I've bought and sold quite a few at a profit, taking them from the UK to Eastern Europe because where a certain model would cost maybe £160 in the UK in bulk, it could sell fast at £200 overseas. That's why I would own 2 or more I-Pods. Usually a lot more than 2. Just fyi.

And it so happens to be common knowledge that apple has the "harshest working conditions"? What if I didn't know? What if I don't care? What if I do? It's irrelevant.

To be honest most of your post was stupid. Either stupid assumptions or stupid arguments. Perhaps you're trolling but I can't tell.
