- johansch 14y agoWhat kind of BS is that? You mean, as in "I will now pay homage to HBO by torrenting the second season of Carnivale"?
- nickadams 14y agoHow is that even close to the same thing? 1) As was said above, no one will mistakenly buy an iPad instead of one of these railway clocks -- typically the grounds around which these IP infringement cases revolve -- and I'm not even sure if you can even buy this clock anyway. 2) Apple isn't illegally distributing these preventing their creator from a source of revenue they previously had. This is quite obviously a digital homage to an iconic physical product much like the Braun calculators. I'm not saying this is a good approach for Apple, or that they're safe from more general copyright infringement, but you've twisted the logic here so badly it misrepresents the issue.
