Damn… So much for working on that nuke in my basement while rocking out to my iTunes playlist…
And that is why I’m not allowed to use iTunes at work.
No, seriously.
so which government/terrorist organisation do you work for?
There goes my friday night :’(
I don’t need apple’s help. I can make my own missiles.
Like.
Crap, and I just agreed to that today. There goes my entire plan.
Actually that’s a much more common entry than you would think. I am tech writer for a company that does automation software and we have a similar clause – don’t use it to control life-controlling equipment, nuclear devices, blah blah.
It’s called “covering all the bases”…
This is why I never agree to those terms. I reserve the right to use my Nano as a tactical nuke.
I don’t use iTunes because it considers (or did consider last time I tried) Creative Commons music (or ANYTHING that doesn’t have some kind of iTunes watermark) as “stolen” and autodeletes it. Supposedly the problem’s been fixed, but I still don’t trust it.
Really? What kind of phony iTunes version do you have?
Challenge accepted
I can use Music in making nukes?
Somehow, I feel like the world would be a much safer place if ALL nuclear, chemical and biological weapons were required to use iTunes…
It’s my job to deal with all the people who don’t read the iTunes terms. Such as the all sales are final clause or you must be in the country for the iTunes store you are trying to access and that Apple can use tech to verify that you are complying.
A 300 Mb of bloatware that auto re-encode, rename, relocate and reorganize your music behind your back without your concent, unless you accidently stumble on the relevent settings… Sory, not for me!
Same thing with Quicktime Alternative, or light, that “Updated” itself to regular Quicktime behind my back after I explicitely set it NOT to update. It also installed some other crap.
No more Apple product on my computer, EVER!!!
In the immortal words of Maddox:
“If I want to manufacture biological weapons with my copy of iTunes, I will, fascists. Ditch this bullsh!t.”
huh, I found this two years ago.
Brings to mind that sound gun that could destroy cities. I forget which movie, I think it was Inspector Clouseau though.
Somebody actually read EULA!
The only way you could use anything Apple makes in the production of any kind of weapons is if you used a mac to design what it will look like. How on earth could you use iTunes for this?
So… As long as they’re not missiles, nuclear, chemical, or biological… I can use iTunes to create weapons?
Thats been in the terms for like 5 years now guys.
I’m suprised no one reads these things
Honestly, it seems to me if you are bootlegging weapons of mass destruction from consumer electronics, you probably have somewhat larger priorities than if you may or may not be in violations of some random EULA.
I’m all for CYA, but seriously, building nuke in basement, way past the point where anybody cares what the software was intended for.
My Favourite part of all of this is:
“I do not accept the terms in the license agreement”
