The guy was importing refurbished parts with the logos covered even. They weren&amp;#x27;t counterfeits. How does a manufacturer have the right to sue for copyright infringement when it&amp;#x27;s just end users reselling authentic parts? The owner even states he in no way markets them as OEM parts.&lt;p&gt;Frankly I think it&amp;#x27;s pretty obvious apple is just trying to squeeze every cent out of these phones and it&amp;#x27;s a really bad hat to wear.</text></comment>

Only &amp;quot;authorized&amp;quot; programmers will get the access code required to change anything. Microsoft, Apple, Dell, etc will control the access codes. &amp;quot;Programming is hard, and these untrained self-taught programmers can mess up your machine, they might install malware, or they might be hackers, or they might overclock your CPU and damage it, or they might use the system for terrorism. Really, they should only be allowed to access the machine if they were appropriately trained by us.&amp;quot;</text></comment>
