What also astonishes me is how many Americans have become so deranged that they actually support a Korean company ripping of an American company. Apple is a great, successful and growing American company, there aren't too many of them left, I would have thought any American with a shred of affection for their country would not want to see one of it's leading companies ripped off.
Way to hide behind the Flag Tony.
I guess you must be too busy reading the iTunes terms of service to realize how un-American this statement is. Our country was founded on a set of ideals centered around the concept of freedom and not just some mass of land or language. So excuse those who are highly suspicious of the broken IP law that can't keep up with the synergies created by the global market.

You know what else is great American company? Microsoft. Should we all go buy a copy of Windows 8 and a Surface tablet? Call me traitor, but I will pass. I am equally critical of that company as well.

How about you buy a computer made in the US Tony? No? I guess you un-American since Apple makes their products in China?

Or if it was MS instead of Samsung you think we Americans should change our sense of morality? F your isolationist/quasi-exceptionalist attitude.

No, you are the deranged one sir. The iPhone was a success because of the freedom it afforded its users. Well now other companies are providing even more freedom and Apple wants to stop it. And that is what I find un-American and underhanded. So they can lick my red, white, and blue balls.
