Apple Knows Who Stole Your iPod

[Case]

At first I didn’t think much of this story (http://www.sdreader.com/php/cityshow.php?id=1453) via APC's Daily Round up (http://www.angrypc.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=319)but the more I think about it, the more it really bothers me that Apple doesn't do something to help iPod theft victims. Read the story, I think you’ll feel the same.

Apple could do. "Apple maintains records of stolen iPod serial numbers," the website reads. "Apple's iTunes software records the serial number of the last connected iPod. Apple sells songs to people that enter their billing information into the iTunes software. So why isn't Apple doing anything to prevent the sale of songs to the person with YOUR stolen iPod?"

It is the same old story as with cellphones. In South Africa, cellphone service providers would not blacklist stolen cellphones, because I reckon, they knew the legit owner would buy a new one and continue with the service, while the new illegit user might very well start using their service as well.

It is all about the bottom line.

I don't think apple will start doing something about stolen ipods untill there has been a lawsuit or two that really eat into their pockets.

I think Ferry has the right idea. Get all the unhappy people together and start a class action lawsuit for a couple'o billion...
