Apple Launches Attack On Latin America                                                         Home

SAO PAULO, Brazil—December 13, 2011—Apple today announced the launch of their                  Linux-libre
latest attack on human freedom by making their iTunes Store available to people
various countries in Latin America.
                                                                                               GitWeb
Launching with a catalog of over 20 million songs, and over a thousand movies, the
iTunes Store in Brazil makes attractive bait in Apple's latest attempt to convince             How To
people to give up control over the technology in their lives.
                                                                                               Articles
In exchange for access to the iTunes Store people receive software that is proprietary
and doesn't allow them to study or modify it, that requires people to agree to be
                                                                                               RSS Feed
subjugated by Apple and to never share or help their friends, that is Defective By
Design, that only allows people to install Apple-approved software on their devices
running iOS, reports where they go with the iPhone, and only allows them to watch the          About Me
movies on a display that Apple approves of.
                                                                                               Contact Me
I hope that, as Apple's attack on human freedom moves forward, residents of these
countries will recognize this as the poor deal that it is and refuse it. For their freedom's   GPL enforced
sake.
