We, Anonymous, start this petition and intend to present it to Apple, the Whitehouse, the POTUS, the Supreme Court and anyone else who could possibly care in an effort to stop Apple from blocking out people's freedom of choice.

If you are not aware, Apple has been suing HTC, Samsung and other companies claiming that their products violate their patents. Here's the thing- they have patents on rounded rectangles that can and can't make phone calls, plain GUIs that feature square icons, earbuds, MP3 playback capabilities and more. This is obviously an attempt to illegalize their competition, as these things are practically essential to the markets they are in.

Imagine a world where we are forced to buy Apple products- Apple clothes, Apple bumper stickers, Apple swimming pools, Apple adult novelties, Apple electronics, Apple food- That seems quite awful, doesn't it? No freedom of choice at all, except what Apple's patents let you. Not to mention people wouldn't have money just to feed a family with the sort of price inflation a monopoly brings around. Suddenly the silver bitten apple company seems much more vile than just what their logo implies.

Obviously, people that are aware of the fact that Apple wants to force us to buy products that are in their eyes inferior products are objecting. Isn't choice a human right? Why should Apple deny us a human right simply because of the fact that their monetary reserves won't last forever (although it certainly seems like it)?

This is a call for the people to stand up. We live in a democracy where companies shouldn't be able to tell us what to do. This is a call for the government officials to wake up and do something. Something being..

Apple- Stop your anti-competitive ways, NOW!

Government- Destroy Apple OR Remove their patents OR whatever works

Software and Hardware distributors- Eliminate support for Apple products

Human beings everywhere, resident of the United States of America or not- STOP buying Apple products until THEY stop terrorizing our freedom, Tell all your friends and family and especially Apple users, and most importantly, take ACTION! This is not something that only affects computer geeks or people that work in cubicles! This is for everyone! Imagine having to learn a completely different working environment! For most of Anonymous it takes about 3 months to get the full hang of OS X and for somebody that doesn't associate themselves with technology it could take much longer. Your productivity is at a standstill until you finally get the hang of it!

Thank you for reading this petition, and we STRONGLY hope you do something about what you've just read. If you agree with all of this, PLEASE add your screenname (or real name, it doesn't matter) in the comments/feedback/whatever of wherever you find this and associate yourself with this petition. Naturally, we now give you permission to copy/paste the **** out of this!

And to Apple- if you ignore this action of the people, remember this- We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget.

99% forever! All day, all week, occupy wall street!

No; because you're spreading pointless white-knight idiocy about how you despise Apple. Baw.

What do you think a petition is going to do?

Many things if the above people see it and I get enough signatures

For the last time, anyone who says tl;dr should use a text-to-speech program OR just take the time they have to read it

it's funny because Apple won one of the mentioned cases because Samsung's internal documents specifically mentioned notes regarding how they wished to copy Apple's user interface; and many of their frivolous suits have been dropped or lost

stop trying to be an internet hero and work on your Pokémon movie

this thread provides a great example of the phrase "how the mighty have fallen"

back in 2007/2008 you guys were a feared boss of the internet nobody talked about or you'd risk having your site DDoSed to oblivion by a bunch of bloodthirsty script kiddies

now you guys make silly little petitions to try and FIGHT THE MAN

hilarious

"take inspiration from" and "copy" are entirely different

Name one significant change you've made to the state of the world.

(Occupy wallstreet doesn't count because it didn't change a thing)

the design documents quite literally state phrases similar to 'The user interface needs to look more like the iOS version' and 'Transitions need to be more fluid; use page turn like in iOS' and the like
