I wonder if this will introduce an issue for quite a few more people who legitimaly buy used phones. Let's say they do it over eBay or CraigsList and then run into this. Sure, while many times the original owner can be reached and probably be willing to help, there can easily be quite a few cases where that might not work out--the original owner doesn't reply for some reason (some people create disposable emails for transactions and then don't check them anymore, or simply don't want to deal with anyone once they sold something and for their money), or perhaps even if reached they might be doubtful about why someone might want their Apple ID information (even though it's all on the up and up) and won't want to deal with it anyway.
