Happy now?

Using your grocery store analogy; It's more like if you own a grocery store, then you sneak into my house, into my pantry, and remove any groceries I bought from a different grocery store - leaving the groceries I bought from your store.
--
-hey where's that Big Box of popcorn I had? It was right here in my pantry!

More precisely, Those groceries being removed from your pantry were not edible (maybe poisonous) . Yes, Apple should have issued a warning but since the files are not playable the deletion did no harm. iTunes only loads music from an iTunes library so the files simultaneously exist on your hard drive.

If Google has my data, and uses it to sell advertisements, how do they need have my private data? How is that not a breach of privacy? If you sneak into my home and read my diary, how is that not a breach of privacy if you don't tell anybody else? If a thief takes my money and doesn't give it to anyone else, how is my money not stolen?

I have no idea what you're arguing here now because it has nothing to do with my response or your original "complaint." Further - your post is riddled with horrible analogies.

Got your link now; happy? Some generous soul saved you the one second Google search... BTW, still waiting for your pal (the one who didn't read the article) to admit he was wrong like he said he would.

10 years is quick?

Look at the $$$'s involved. How long would it take the average person to earn $100m, if you accomplished that in 10 years, yes, I'd call that quick. Terms are often relative. Some bacteria a really really huge, you can almost see them. Some galaxies are really really tiny, maybe only 10 million stars.

Because bacteria and galaxies are totally similar..... /rolls eyes

If you are going to bother to answer a post, then why not address the point I made that earning millions of dollars in a span of 10 years can be considered to be 'quick' in relation to how long it would take, er... you for example to earn tens of millions.

And yes, when used analogously to show how the words 'small' and 'big' are relative, in the same way that 'quick' or 'slow' is relative, they serve identical purposes. So what is all the rolling of eyes for?

And now, the second plaintiff has been dismissed. Can't try a case without anyone who was "affected", can you?
