Uh, right.  Calm down, count to 10, take a few deep breaths.  I have
heard and understand (and agree in part) with the arguments about how
Apple's legal policies may retard progress (for some definition of
"progress") in computer software development, availability, and use,
but that's got not much at all to do with good and evil.  It may
prevent you (and other people, including possibly me) from doing some
things that we want to do, but that by itself hardly defines sin,
unless you ask a two-year-old.

But, if you want to quote some relevant religious writings, go right
ahead.  At least it would be a different approach.
