Isn't that illegal? Wouldn't blocking any other media device from accessing/syncing iTunes except Apple approved stuff be a monopoly (somewhat)? Isn't that illegal?

It bugs the hell out of me how they try to control your content, not that I couldn't easily get around it, but it's about principle. Apple reminds me of a expensive and controlling girlfriend that eats away at you... heh If Apple does indeed block the Pre it would only bolster my reasoning for refusing to use iTunes or any other Apple related products.

The brazen nature of this specific Pre-targeted message sums it up: they think the rules don't apply to them because so far they haven't.
