Ondrej Holzman Izolo, amajaji ayisishiyagalombili afinyelele esinqumweni mayelana nohlelo lokuvikela olwasetshenziswa yi-Apple kuma-iTunes nama-iPod, futhi bekufanele ilimaze abasebenzisi ngalo, futhi ikhokhele amakhasimende angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-8 isamba esingafika kumadola ayizigidi eziyinkulungwane. Kepha ijaji linqume ngazwi linye ukuthi i-Apple yayingenzanga monakalo kubasebenzisi noma kubancintisana nabo.
Ithimba lamajaji lithe ngoLwesibili ukuthi isibuyekezo se-iTunes 7.0 ekwindla ka-2006 lapho icala laphenduka khona "kwakuwukuthuthukiswa komkhiqizo wangempela" okulethe izici ezintsha ezinhle kumakhasimende. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, yethula isilinganiso esibalulekile sokuphepha sokuthi, ngokusho kwecala, akuvimbeli ukuncintisana kuphela, kodwa futhi kulimaze abasebenzisi abangakwazi ukudlulisa kalula umculo othengiwe phakathi kwamadivayisi, kodwa ama-jurors awazange athole lokhu kuyinkinga.
Isinqumo sabo sisho ukuthi i-Apple ayizange yephule imithetho yokungathembeki nganoma iyiphi indlela. Ukube ubephule umthetho, imali yokuqala engamaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-350 yamademeshe afunwa icala ngabe iphindwe kathathu ngenxa yaleyo mithetho. Nokho, abamangali bamakhasimende angaphezu kwezigidi eziyisishiyagalombili abathenge ama-iPod phakathi kukaSepthemba 2006 noMashi 2009 ngeke bathole noma iyiphi isinxephezelo, okungenani ngokwesinqumo senkantolo samanje.
"Sibonga ijaji ngomsebenzi walo futhi sishayela ihlombe isinqumo sawo," kusho u-Apple esitatimendeni sabezindaba ngemuva kokuba amajaji ethule isinqumo sawo. “Sidale i-iPod ne-iTunes ukuze sinikeze amakhasimende indlela engcono yokulalela umculo. Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma sibuyekeza le mikhiqizo - kanye nanoma yimuphi omunye umkhiqizo we-Apple - sikwenze lokho ukuze senze ulwazi lomsebenzisi lube ngcono nakakhulu."
Kwakungekho ukwaneliseka okunjalo ngakolunye uhlangothi, lapho ummeli oholayo wabamangali, uPatrick Coughlin, eveze ukuthi ubevele elungiselela isikhalo. Akathandi ukuthi lezi zinyathelo ezimbili zokuphepha -- ukuhlola isizindalwazi se-iTunes kanye nokuhlolwa kwethrekhi ye-iPod -- kuhlanganiswe nezinye izici ezintsha ku-iTunes 7.0, njengokwesekwa kwevidiyo nomdlalo. “Okungenani sithole ithuba lokuyiyisa enkantolo yamajaji,” etshela izintatheli. Abamele i-Apple kanye namajaji banqabile ukuphawula ngaleli cala.
I-Apple yaphumelela ngejaji ngokuthi yakha i-ecosystem yayo ngendlela evaliwe efana, njengesibonelo, i-Sony, iMicrosoft noma i-Nintendo nama-consoles omdlalo wabo, ukuze imikhiqizo ngayinye (kulokhu, i-iTunes nama-iPod) isebenzisane ngokuphelele. , futhi kwakungenakwenzeka ukulindela ukuthi umkhiqizo ovela komunye umenzi uzosebenza kulolu hlelo ngaphandle kwezinkinga. Ngasikhathi sinye, abameli bakwa-Apple bathi ukuthuthukiswa kohlelo lokuvikela i-DRM, olwagcina luvimbe ukufinyelela kwemikhiqizo encintisanayo ku-Apple ecosystem, bekudingekile ngokuphelele ngenxa yezivumelwano eziphethwe nezinkampani zokuqopha.
Ngemuva kwamasonto amabili, icala e-Oakland, elaqala emuva ngo-2005, lavalwa nakuba ijaji selinqume ngokuvuna i-Apple, icala selivele lilungiselela isikhalazo, ngokusho kwamazwi alo, ngakho-ke asikwazi ukubiza lokhu. icala livaliwe okwamanje.
Ungathola ukumbozwa okuphelele kwecala lapha lapha.
