"These devices don't appear to be designed to be lethal.[..] They are, for the most part, low charge so not packing enough to actually kill somebody.[..] Let's not forget that this comes on the same day that Israel has extended its war aims to including expelling Hezbollah basically from the border." -- BBC's Security Correspondent Frank Gardner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNEb-dY3tRY

The definition of private property is defined by political systems, which are shaped by cultural norms and values. It's unlikely that humanity will still treat intellectual output as private property centuries from now. The digital (and network) revolution are paradigm shifts, and the latter can take a very long to play out.

That said, financially supporting worthwhile projects is a moral duty. So please do your part.

Careful there. There are some fellow humans who wouldn't be able to pass your conditions.

Apple doesn't care about what cyberlibertarians think about their business practices. Baking in ads won't affect sales (might even prop it up if used to subsidize devices).
