Be it MP3, DVD, xbox games or apps on an iphone if you’re getting something for free that is copyrighted it’s STEALING. The manufactures of the hardware/software that are expecting royalties for this copyrighted material should be able to do what they need to in order to protect their interests. > > No one knows what Apple is going to use this blacklist for. They may or may not cross the line depending on what gets blacklisted. If they can prove you have stolen copyrighted apps on your phone and remove them, more power too them. If they simply ban anything that isn’t in the app store, including programs that aren’t violating anyone’s copyright, that’s crossing the line. i hear ya, but hey, if its free and accessible, i take it --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/apple-can-remotely-disable-apps-on-iphone/52867)._
