Apple wants to claim depictions of actual apples.

The crime that these corporations are committing is robbing the public of it's own iconography, or trying to anyway.

hahahahahaha, hilarious.

first of all, this isn't a crime. second, nothing has happened yet-- and, even if the Swiss government rules in favor of Apple, they would be the ones to blame for allowing it. All Apple did was ask. Finally, that other company's logo does not belong to the public-- it belongs to that other company.

hahahahahaha, hilarious.

It's fine that you disagree, but can you at least try to not be condescending.

Honestly, reading this person's replies is repulsive. What a total jerk. Imagine suffering through a social event like a dinner party with someone like that. Condescending is an understatement.

this isn't some opinion over which there is a "disagreement". it's a matter of fact, and what was said was false. when someone makes a statement so ridiculously false, I cannot help but to laugh. Lies do not deserve respect.

what I find curious is that you would criticize me for calling out the falsehood rather than the person making it.

I don’t think the commenter meant that Apple was literally committing an actual crime backed by a law lol

I did not criticize you for calling something out. I criticized you going after the person by being condescending, it's bad form in a discussion. Similar to pointing out spelling mistakes.
